I love hot tea. I love a majestic view of the mountains. I love the peaceful sound of water. I love cooking. I love my family. I love Jesus. All different kinds of love.
During the past weekend at the Ladies' Retreat in Juneau, Alaska, we focused on "Falling in Love with Jesus." There were classes taught, discussions in small groups, and quiet time. During the quiet time, I suggested the ladies write a love letter to Jesus.
It can be hard to think of Jesus in that way, but they rose to the challenge and it became an emotional experience for several of the ladies.
When we love Jesus with passion, over time, our love transforms into a mature love and our relationship grows and deepens.
On this Transformational Tuesday, I invite you to write a love letter to Jesus - to love Him with passion and maturity.
My maternal grandfather was a professor. My paternal grandma was a one-room school teacher. My mom is a teacher. Through direct and indirect ways, each of them taught me to teach. They modeled teaching and taught with their lives. They shared specific instructions about how to prepare a lesson, how to communicate a message, and how to connect with students.
One of the most important aspects of teaching is teaching to teach. I have heard it said that you really know if you’ve learned something if you’re able to teach it to someone else. II Timothy 2:2 says, “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.”
I love that the reference for that verse is SECOND Timothy TWO:TWO. 2, 2, 2. It doesn’t stop with one. We have to teach to teach to teach in order for the message to reach everyone.
You may be intimidated by the concept of teaching, but whether you are a mother, a sister, an aunt, a niece, a friend, or all of the above, you have the opportunity to teach. The Makeover Monday challenge today is to makeover what it means to teach: Let’s not just teach the concept, but teach to teach, so the message can be spread to others.
