Day two was great! We all had an absolute blast with one another. Judging from our debriefing time together last night the messages are really resonating with our students. They are saying things like, “It’s amazing that God loves me that much!”. Or, “I can’t believe that the God of the whole universe who made all of that cares enough about some one so tiny and small to die on the cross for me!” It was great to hear what they were thinking. I can’t wait to hear how God works in their life today. Everyday is a new adventure.
Yesterday we looked at Jesus as our friend, and as our master.
Jesus is our friend. John 13:12… Jason reminded us that the greatest thing that we could ever do for someone else is to give your life up for them. To give the one non renewable resource that you own! Your life is one of the only things that once you give it up, you can’t get another one. How awesome is that thought? Jesus gave his life for us. This next quote really resonated with us, “High School is when we become professionals at lying to everyone & show off a side that we want people to see, and hide the side of us that we are afraid of.” I would add, that high school is when we become professionals at it, and we have the rest of our lives to perfect it. How does that quote resonate with you?
Here’s the awesome part! God knows our good, our bad, and our ugly… and He is still your friend!
Jesus as our master… We are in need of a master, someone to guide us through life, someone to give us hope and show us the way. There is nothing which is out of God’s reach or God’s control. God’s thoughts are higher and farther than ours, just as broad and deep and wide as our whole solar system is. AMAZING! So, if God’s ways are not our ways, and I can’t understand this master, I guess the question is will I trust Him? Will we choose to trust our master? What are times when you need to trust the master?
Keep on praying for us… God wants to do great things here.
