I heard a story one time about a girl whose father owned a printing press, back when the Bible was first being published. While she was cleaning up one night, she found a page of the Bible on the floor – the last words printed on it were “For God so loved the world that He gave”. Excitedly, she ran to her mother and read the page to her. Quizzical, the mother asked, “Well, what did He give?” The daughter replied, “I don’t know, but don’t you think the fact that He would give us anything is wonderful!?”
When is the last time that you were excited over the simple reality that God gave you something? Of course we know the rest of the verse “…His only begotten Son…”, but I think we should be as delighted as this young girl was with the fact that God gave. He has given us so much.
We have wonderful students in this church, and it has been a privilege and a joy forming relationships with them. We’ve been bowling, got lost in a dark corn maze (in the rain), made it through an excellent soccer season, survived SuperBowl, and are looking forward to many more exciting events. Most importantly, we are learning more about each other, beginning a discipleship program, watching our community outreach program grow and integrate into church, encouraging each other spiritually, and growing in our relationships with Christ.
