In The Potter's Hands

I'm sitting here this morning thinking back on life and how amazing God's plan is. As He in the right time brought somebody into my life who taught me, encouraged me, reprimanded me, loved me, who poured their life into me, so that I could teach others, encourage others, love others, pour my life into theirs, and it causes a chain reaction. As we pour our lives into others it advances the kingdom of God. What could be a better way to spend our lives? 

I am continually amazed and rejoice in how our mighty God is working in the lives of our kids at Bitterroot Family Fellowship and I am so blessed and honored to be a part of helping them grow. Nothing brings me greater joy then to see them giving their lives, piece by piece to God. Last night we worshiped the Lord together, the Bible lesson was about giving our lives to follow God. How we are the clay and He is the Potter and will we make the decision to give ourselves over to Him to mold us and make us into the ones He wants us to be. Giving up the things of the world for the things He has planned for us. Two of them were up front on their knees praying to Jesus, giving their lives to follow Him. This is what I brings joy to my heart, to see these kids desire God, to see their hearts set on fire. To see them set aside the things that they desire to make time for the Lord. One of them told me they feel God wants them to be a missionary. The other on is full of questions on how to share the gospel, how to follow God even more. Last night, God showed up in a very real way. We had a small group of kids but they all have a desire for Jesus. What a huge blessing it is that I have been able to teach God's word to them and help them grow.

Lord, for each one of these precious kids, I thank you for them, for their lives, for their desire for you God, I ask your guidance and protection upon them as they learn to follow you and become disciples for you. I thank you for what you have done in my life so that I could be here watching and helping them grow. For each one of them as they find their path in life, in the direction you want them to go, please guide me and the others in our church family to know how to help them and encourage them. They are our future Lord, they will be our Pastors, teachers and leaders. I pray that this week you show yourself to them even more. I pray that this week they will seek you like never before. Thank you my Jesus for paying the price of our sin with your life so we can spend eternity with the Father, thank you for your love, grace and mercy, watch over and bless these kids I pray, Amen
