I love Vacation Bible School! I really do. . . it is a lot of work and it takes extra heaps of energy, by the end of the week I am exhausted but it is the best time ever. Seeing young children like these friends from our VBS share their faith and love of Jesus is the most amazing thing ever!!
The first day they are always a little bit timid. . . something new and all. New songs, new faces, even a new place. But by Friday they are singing at the top of their lungs, shouting for joy over what they've learned and it's all about JESUS!!
Last night we re-enacted the Last Supper, as well as the death and resurrection of Jesus (which is always on a Thursday if you use Group Publishing). Peter was upset that he had betrayed Jesus and denied him three times before his death. He came into hiding with the kids and spoke to them about his struggle and sorrow. The kids wanted to console him. They told him, "He will forgive you!" They wanted him to know, "He loves you!" One even said, "Go find Jesus and he will take you back!" Oh that we would be able to say that to one another outside of the sphere of VBS, that we would take a hint from the pure of heart!!
There is nothing like the faith of a child!!
Jesus said, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children." Matthew 19: 14
May we step out of our comfort zone and share the good news of Christ's love and forgiveness with everyone we meet! He loves! He wants you back! He will forgive you if you ask him! Have a blessed and faith-full day!
