teaching

one of my students is teaching me so much, it's incredible. i have had the privilege of working with this student for about a month & God is using this student powerfully. today Jesus taught me some things through this student. this student has severe problem behaviours & as the teacher i have to give the student a 'clean slate' after each behaviour episode occurs. as i was giving this student a 'clean slate' God showed me how He gives us a 'clean slate' daily, despite our sinful behaviours, how He shows us patience & covers us in His unending grace always.

Jesus, thank you for this amazing student. i'm so blessed by You.

  1. amen on the patience part, love! with working with students, sometimes it's easy for me to think...oh shoot they are wearing my patience. giving clean slates all the time is so hard sometimes! you get so tired! it's AMAZING that Jesus keeps giving it to us..over and over again..with such unconditional love.

    thank you for this love <3
