Jesus Loves You

That was the name for the lesson taught Sunday the 13th of Feb. I knew this was going to be a special lesson. I am so blessed that God gives me what to teach and how to teach it. Imagine candy hearts that had words from God on them for the children. Instead using the regular hearts with the sometimes silly words, we talked about if God sent you a Valentine what would it say.
then these words were written on the back of a heart and then the children decorated the other side with strips cut from old greeting cards. The children really made some beautiful ones. Then we talked about the different promises of God, wow it is so exciting when you tell them and to see their reactions. The most important one I will forgive you. Wow really think about that one. We talked about what that meant to them, and then we had soaking time. This is when worship music is put on and the children are quiet, so the Lord can minister to them and they also minister to the Lord. After a time a little girl came up to me and she said I want to ask Jesus into my heart. I said ok, then you talk to him. I prayed for her first. She had first asked Jesus into her heart in June of 09, so God really touched her. The Lord showed me that she was taking the next step. She bowed her little head and talked to Jesus and then went and buried her little head on the red cloth, and continued to talk to the Lord. I could see her face was very different she really had been in the Lord's presence. I have a red shiny cloth that I put out on the floor it is about 6 feet long which represents an altar also the blood of Jesus, so this is where the children go, when they want to. I am so blessed to be experiencing the presence of God with the children. Oh yes by the way, today God led me to a store that I found candy hearts with words on them as if God had sent them himself. The candy is called scripture candy, reaching the world one piece at a time. I am so excited for this next Sunday, to share how God led me to this candy, and so they can see words from God on these hearts. I was so excited yep a WOW day.. Oh by the way everyone in that room God touched even my helper. Thank you Lord for your presence!!!!
