Today on Facebook I saw a picture of two of the kids in my ministry dressed up for career day at their school. The kids were asked to dress up as what they want to be when they grow up. One of the children dressed up as a pastor, just so he could carry his Bible around school all day today. This is definitely one of those moments that is encouraging to a children's minister like me. Not because it is something that I can take credit for, but because it is something I can praise God for. God promises us that he will not forsake us, that we will not labor in vain. God promises us that fruit will come from our work, even if we never get to see it. Well this is one of those moments were we can thank God for a glimpse of seeds taking root in this little boy's heart. Seeds of truth planted by his parents, family, Sunday School teachers, children's church leaders, awana workers, and other people of influence in his life. Seeds of the truth of who God is and what he wants for us, the truth of The Gospel!
I am so grateful that God gives us these little glimpses of the seeds of faith taking root in these children's lives. It is such an encouragement to carry on planting the seeds, to keep pouring the truth into these little lives, because one day God will grow it into something amazing!
Grateful to be Growing at The Grove!
Miss Megan
