Today’s Scripture…
Revelation 3:19-22
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. 21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Thoughts…
When I read these verses today, I immediately thought of my students. They just began their senior year of college. As they start their final preparations to becoming a teacher, I will be looking very closely and critiquing their lesson plans and teaching abilities. I will go through several projects and offer lots of feedback. If they listen to me and take my feedback they will grow. They will become the teachers i know they can be and they will be invited to a grand graduation party and eventually be offered new jobs.
This is not unlike what God does for us. He watches us. He rebukes us and disciplines us. Sometimes it hurts. OK, who is kidding, it always hurts. However, if we take His feedback and put it into practice, we will be invited to the most spectacular party in history…to live with Him in Heaven forever and ever.
So, yes, my students won’t like everything I have to say this year, but they will know it is from my heart and will help them move on to what is next. Let’s take God’s feedback so we can meet at the party later!!
