In our previous Friday school, we tackled about the story of Joseph the Dreamer, on how God works in his life, that even though he suffer trials and pains still he remain faithful to God and was able to forgive those people who have done wrong to him especially his brothers whom because of their jealousy sold him and became slave and later on governor of Egypt. From there Joseph's life changed though he was put into jail because of false accusation yet God never leave his side.
As I asked the kids if they where in Joseph's place what will they do and what they will tell to God. Their answers really caught me in surprise. I never expected such answers. I was really touch and move by their answers. Some of them maybe out of the topic but they pour out what is in their heart. Allow me to share some of them with you.
….God I feel sad because Lord I can't do anything, do what you like but I know that we should read the Bible, share God's word and pray.
…Please forgive me for all my sins that I've done to my friends, neighbors, family and you God If I fail my duties I will never give up because I am a champion for Christ who never gives up.
…See I am a little sad because in Christmas my little brother have many gifts and me only few. But I am also happy because my bother decided that we will share the gifts all together.
…Help me to be friendly and respect my parents and Lord please forgive me when I sinned.
Their hearts are pure, they forgives easily and accept their wrong doings. They are really precious in God' eyes. And the kingdom of heaven is with them.
As Christmas is approaching let it be a reminder for us that the most beautiful gift we can ever give to the child who was born in the manger is our heart. Let's keep it pure because only those who have pure heart can see God.
God forgive me in all my wrong doings, forgive me if I offense others because of my uncontrollable tongue, forgive me for all bad thoughts that have been stored in my mind, forgive my every actions that are not pleasing to you. Keep my heart pure make it whiter than snow. Because this is the only gif that I can give to your son Jesus Christ. Amen.
