Our last meeting was all about “What Time is It?” and we discussed the following ..
- It’s time to end Believer’s Square for the school year.
- It’s time to plan what fun things we can do this summer.
Then, we went into the most important “What Time is It? Questions…
The Bible says in…2 Corinthians 6:2
For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Waiting till you are older to accept Jesus is NOT a good idea. Many who wait till they are older make many mistakes and choose to do evil things that hurt themselves and others because they have not asked Jesus to help them and protect them. Sometimes those things stay with us for a very long time and maybe our whole lives, and even though God forgives us, we will still have scars from those things.
If we have already received Jesus into our hearts we have things to do with our time as well!
2 Timothy 4:2 tells us- Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction
If you are a Christian already, your most important job in the world is to help others come to ask Jesus into their hearts so they can go to heaven also. Just like Believers Square is more fun when there are more kids, heaven will be more wonderful the more people there are! Because we will have more to rejoice about! How awesome to get to heaven and see people there that YOU told about Jesus!
AS we shared our devotional, Mrs G, Mrs Waters and Mrs Branch got our ice cream sundae fixin’s ready. We had all the extras like whipped cream, nuts and sprinkles ready, but we were missing the main ingredient- ICE CREAM!
So as we patiently waited, we talked about how it is nice to have all the ‘sprinkles’ in life- Great friends, a new bike, trips to Darien Lake, swimming pools, skateboards, and so on but its just not as sweet with the main ingredient.- Jesus. Without Him, we just have sprinkles – not the most important part- An everlasting friend to help us, a loving Father to teach us and an eternal home in heaven someday.
To sum up our year of Believer’s Square we learned…While we live in this world, TIME is very important. Be careful not to replace the IMPORTANT with the URGENT. Don’t just Concentrate on SPRINKLES, and NOW is the time to Accept Him and Serve Him!
See you this summer!
With love from Mrs Rose, Mrs G, Mrs Waters, Mrs Branch, Mrs Harris,& Mrs Zimmerman
