I Will Follow

"As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, 

Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, 

for they were fishermen. 'Come, follow me,' Jesus said, 'and I will make you fishers of men.' 

At once they left their nets and followed Him.

Matthew 4:18-20

Tim chose the next song and we all agreed wholeheartedly. It is called, "I Will Follow" by Chris Tomlin. Here are the lyrics:

Where You go, I'll go.

Where You stay, I'll stay.

When You move, I'll move.

I will follow.

All Your ways are good.

All Your ways are sure.

I will trust in You alone

Higher than my side,

High above my life,

I will trust in You alone.

Who You love, I'll love.

How You serve, I'll serve.

If this life, I lose.

I will follow You.

I will follow You.

Light unto the world.

Light unto my life.

I will live for You alone.

You're the One I seek.

Knowing, I will find.

All I need in You alone, 

In You alone.

In You there's life everlasting.

In You there's freedom for my soul.

In You there's joy, unending joy.

And I will follow.

We all liked this song because it teaches the children that the Christian walk is all about following Jesus Christ as set out in the Scriptures. Our desire is to please God and live for Him alone, not ourselves. In doing so, a person will find the greatest joy and satisfaction in their lives. When we reach the end our time on earth, the reward will be immeasurable.

I hope the children will be able to apply their decision to follow Jesus in what they choose to watch on television or movie theatres, what sites they go on in the internet, what video games they play, what they say about others and even how they dress. In everything we say and do, we need to glorify God.

God gave us His all. We need to honour God by giving Him our all.

Here is a picture of three precious girls that I use to babysit in the place I lived before. They are all the same age. This picture was taken when my sons and I took them camping with the Church's Kids Life group.

I am sharing this picture because I will be seeing them all again in just over a week. They are all coming to Pandamania Vacation Bible School. I can't wait to see them all! They each have very special qualities that God has given them.
