I just heard the song Hosanna by Hillsong United. After hearing the chorus I found myself praying. Praying for our church family, especially kidmin volunteers and children. The words just flowed and reminded me of why we are here and just how important the next two weekends are. This Sunday is Palm Sunday and next Sunday is Easter. We get to share what Jesus did for each one of us on a larger scale because we will be blessed with visitors.
There are people who only come to church two times each year. I sometimes call them the "bunnies and the elves." They only show up on Easter and on Christmas so lets make the most of our opportunity to share God's love with them! I want each visitor to feel the love we have for them through Jesus Christ! I want each parent to walk though the doors of the children's area and see volunteers ready to help them find their child's classroom and most importantly find their way to the sanctuary to hear the greatest news of all time!
Right now, I bet you would like me to get off my soapbox! Sorry!!! Sometimes I just get so passionate for those that are far from Christ to cross the line of faith and be close to Him!! As you read the chorus below, let it be our prayer for the children's ministry and let us love everyone around us the way He loves us!!
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to
Eternity
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to
Eternity
Oh how He loves us!
