I decided to help out at the Vacation Bible School again this year that is being held at a church in my community. There are three Churches that have joined together to try to reach children with the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. It was a busy night tonight, but there was a lot of fun to be had as well. My job was to take pictures of the children in various poses to be used at the end of the night in a spotlight slideshow presentation, but I wasn't able to get enough pictures throughout the night so we had to scrap that endeavor.
I felt like I failed. I felt kind of lonely out there even though there we a lot of people around which reminded me of the Bible point of the night which was, "When we are lonely, Jesus rescues us!" I am thankful for the wonderful promises that we have in Jesus Christ.
I am thankful that, even though I feel lonely at times and that people just don't understand me, Jesus is with me and He loves me. There is no one that understands us and helps us like Jesus. When we are lonely, Jesus recues us and He will encourage us through His Word and through the Holy Spirit.
There will be times in our lives when we try our best, but we fail miserably. The Lord can use those times to teach us to trust Him more and He can work things out for our ultimate good and for His Glory.
God is good. Lord willing everything will go better tomorrow night as I take more photos at VBS. I did get a chance to take to people that I have never met before so it was still an enjoyable experience.
To God be the Glory.
Lord,
Thank You for Your love and Your amazing grace.
Thank You for being with me in lonely times.
I praise Your Name.
Lead us closer to You O Lord.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.
