Sorry it's been a while since I've posted!
This week was our Spiritual Emphasis Week at school (april 23-27). Jonathan from West Salem Four Square came in to speak to us. He was energetic, funny, and really was able to reach out to a lot of the student body to get them involved and attentive. For the week, he used the passage from John 5:1-14 about the paralytic that had been disabled for 38 years.
Entitled 'Show Up', Jonathan shared on Monday what God's heart is for us as his children. Regardless of our performance, God loves us and is beckoning us into His arms. His prayer for us this week was that we would come to know the LOVE God has for us, and to respond to that LOVE. We are accepted by our Father, our Creator, with or without makeup, the coolest shoes, and nice clothes.
Some important points:
Expect God to do things in your life. Show up whether or not you see God working. Matthew 7: ask seek knock. Choose to submit to the Kingdom of God. God is inviting us to show up and be willing to receive love and healing this week.
As Walt Disney said, "To all who come to this happy place, welcome." That's just like the Kingdom of God. It's our invitation.
