Junior High Outreach

Out-reach in the junior high school!!!
What an awesome oppertunit this has been for David and I.
We go every Thursday to a local junior high school and just love on a group of kids there that absolutely love having us there to talk to!!
This Thursday was a special day with the kids. It seems to be getting more personal and heart to heart with them! This week the Lord prompt my heart to share with them what they actually possess in Jesus and what they actually have authority over in their lives. Have you know that this group of kids have chosen to be apart of this class and know that it is a spiritual class. So anyway I just asked them if they had recieved Jesus as, not only their saviour, but their daddy. A few said yes and others responded with well I already have a daddy one and two said I have two daddys ... why do I need another? WOW! So I just explained to them that Jesus wants to be our Heavenly Father so that when our earthly father can't help us or can't be the perfect dad we need He can!!! I shared with them that my dad was an awesome father and tried to always make me happy and always do what was best for me but he could never be perfect as a dad so Heavenly Father was always there when my father couldn't be!! They understood it so well and wanted to receive Jesus as Father. So we prayed a sort prayer and then I began to explain to them about inheritance and how when some daddys pass away they leave everything they own to their children. And told them that that is what God has done for them. He has given them everything He owns and He owns everything because He made everything!! And I told them that they possess a love that is so overwhelming it can cover all evil in their school it's just a matter of showing it and bringing it to light in their lives. They asked how can we show love ... I gave them examples like complementing someone ... helping someone... and smiling at everyone. I even brought up the idea that when someone is ugly to them or someone else they can say something like.. " I know you didn't mean what you just did because you are an awesome person . I believe in you ." Other questions they began to ask were...
"why do people hate?" So I explained that when someone hasn't ever experienced love or doesn't have love then they don't know how to love so therefore they hate! But you could be the difference in their life and give them an experience with love!!

I was so excited and overwhelmed with these kids yesterday!! The blessed me alot and God made me aware of alot that I had no idea about!!
