Back to School

Pause

Inhale:
There is beauty in new beginnings.

Exhale:
God, you are with me.

Listen

Whatever you do, whether in speech or action, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus and give thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:17

Think

Growing up, I played on many sports teams. If your experience is anything like mine, one of the first conversations a coach loves to have with their team is… “You represent our team now. Your actions reflect our program.” Basically, don’t do anything that will embarrass us, or you’ll run, haha!

Just like we represent our sports teams, our schools, and our families… we have a much deeper responsibility as followers of Christ. We get the privilege of loving those around us in the same ways in which we have experienced the love of Christ. In what ways do you represent Christ to those around you? In what ways can you give that thanks to God today?

Pray

Loving God, show me what steps I can take today to share your love with those around me.

Amen.

Go

The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.

Number 6:24-26 (NIV)
