I'm taking a moment out of lesson plans
to blog for the second time in one weekend.
Today in church we sang a song about
how one day every nation will praise God. In Japanese. Have I sang
about this before? Yes, it's a common idea in worship songs. But
never have I had the chance to sing this wonderful praise in another
language. It was one of my favorite times in worship I have ever
experienced. It was made just a bit sweeter because one of my
Japanese friends I met at Worldlife, the international ministry I was
apart of throughout college, was beside me. I was reminded that my
God is not just a God of my country. My God is your God too. My God
is the God of every nation. How beautiful is that fact? Does it blow
you away as much as it blows me away? I spent a good amount of today
dwelling in that.
Church was made a bit sweeter, yes it
got even better, when we took communion. The bread was passed out.
The pastor stood to tell us to eat our bread said “Dirty sinners
that are loved deeply by God take the bread in remembrance.” It was
an instant reminder of the incredible unending grace that has been
given to me when I didn't deserve an ounce of it. Man. God is good.
In the midst of planning for my sweet
energetic class I couldn't help but pray that I could show my
students some of the grace that has been awarded to me because that
same grace has been awarded to each of them.
