We’ve all been there. We’ve all experienced those moments where we’ve felt so wrapped up in lesson plans & grading that we couldn’t catch our breath. We’ve questioned our positive impact on our class and neglected our own personal rest & growth.
We’ve all felt drained, unseen, unnoticed, & perhaps even unloved at times.
I can’t count how many times I’ve forgotten how much God loves and cares about me. Days and moments have gone by where I’ve completely neglected His presence in my life or taken for granted how He views me personally.
But the truth is this: God loves every single one of us and commands us as Christians to show that love to others.
God is with You
If you have Jesus Christ in your heart, you can rest assured that God is with you. He’s with you during the easy days & the hard ones. He’s by your side while you teach in the morning and He’s cheering you on while you’re grading late at night.
“…for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”~Joshua 1:9 KJV
God sees you, loves you, and is helping you during every moment of your day. Lean on Him, trust Him, & remember to embrace His presence.
God Loves Your Students
You may struggle at times showing compassion to the kids in your class. When that happens, take a deep breath & remind yourself, “God loves this little one.”
“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”~1 John 4:8 KJV
Love your students the way God does!
Don’t yell at them when they frustrate you or put them down when they don’t understand a concept. Instead be a vessel of God’s love & grace in their lives, reminding them how God sees them.
Your Hard Work is Valuable to God
The devil will try to get you to quit. He’ll try to make you believe that you’re not making a difference.
Don’t listen to him! The truth is that the impact you leave on the lives of others lasts throughout eternity.
The children in your class will not only remember the lessons you’ve taught them, but will also cherish the thought of YOU. They’ll remember that hug in the morning, the praise for a job well done, & the patience you showed them when you shared God’s Word.
“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,”~Philippians 1:3 KJV
God sees you. He knows how hard you’re working & all that you’re doing for Him.
Don’t quit! Don’t give up! God still has a lot for you to do!
So go out there & teach creativity!
