You know how sometimes, when talking to a kid, you need to get down and look at them, eye to eye? Well that's what happened to me 23 years ago today. At a Christmas Eve service, I suddenly understood that God took the time to come down and get "eye to eye" by sending us his Son. It just made sense. After church I went home and asked Jesus into my heart.
Maybe that's why I have such a deep passion to tell kids the same message. I look back and get excited about how God has shaped me and used me. And I also see moments where I didn't listen to Him and missed chances to serve Him better. Every kid I see on Sunday has a chance to discover how much God loves them. That He came down to talk to them on their level. And THAT is what thrills me about my job. I get to present God's simple message to hundreds of kids.
So I'm celebrating two birthdays today. The first of course is Jesus's. The second is my own spiritual birthday. Happy birthday Jesus. Thanks.
