Put on a heart…. It is getting close to Valentine’s
Day. How is your heart doing?
Being chosen by God is just what we are…those who
have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. But
as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God,
even to those who believe in His name…. John 1:12. It is so good to know
that God has chosen us…and I personally have chosen to accept Jesus as my
Savior. Of all the people throughout time and in all the countries of the world—God
reached down and picked me to be one of His children. Is that special or what? So
now I choose to have a heart of compassion because of the love of God.
Training
Tip – As you get ready for Valentine’s Day plan to make
heart shaped cookies and take them to shut-ins associated with your church or
to a shelter for battered or homeless in your community. Have the kiddos make
Valentine’s Day cards to take along when you deliver the cookies. Can you think
of other ways to share and show compassion to others in your community? Make a list of ways to “touch” others that are not physical touches. Some of those ways may be visiting, calling on the phone, playing cards, or sending pictures to others. What else can you think of to do?
Lord – Please give
us grace to teach our children about Your compassion and to make compassion not
just part of our lives, but part of our very heart and souls.
