Tonight we began a new study, after setting the foundation last week on what is the bible and how is it composed. We looked at God's character from the very beginning, when he created the world. I was actually quite pleased with the discussion and insight of the students.
Nonbelievers far out weighed the believers, so the study was somewhat catered to that. After establishing that God is in control, is all powerful, created us in HIs image and was intentional beyond all measure, I posed this question "If we believe this that God created the world, we are created in His image, etc...how would it affect our lives?"
A few students shared and then sweet June stole my heart. It brought me back to when I first believed. I began to remember what young faith was like. She said..in her broken english...that if all this we studied was true..then God really was in control and knew her every move. She then looked up to the sky as we do when we want to acknowledge God. She paused, lifted her hand to wave and said "Hey God...if you really do exist"
It was sweet and funny all at the same time. But I think in that moment, June was seeing that God might actually exist. Maybe He really did create the world and everything in it. Maybe we really were created to know Him and make Him known.
Pray for June that her heart would be soften to the truth of grace. May she see God and seek to spend time with him daily. Maybe God would use us, these broken people, to speak truth into June through this far from perfect Bible Study. I long for her to keep waving at God.
Blessings.
