Valentine To God

What would you say if you made a Valentine for God?  That is the challenge that I issued two weeks ago at our Jr. High and Sr. High youth groups in two of our orphanages.  We spent the lesson talking about love, an appropriate and "normal" theme for the month of February,  But I wanted to challenge the kids to think of it from a different angle.  We "know" that God loves us, but why do we love Him?  I hope that these words bless your hearts.  Pray with me that each of us, and each of the kids that we work with will have these truths embedded on each of our hearts daily!

Here is what some of our kids said:

 "I love you Jesus because you created me and you gave me peace and life."

 "Lord, I love you because you were there when I really needed you.  I love you because you take care of me and you created me."

 "Lord I love you because you are always beside me."

 "Lord Jesus, I love you so much and I thank you that you care about me."

 "Lord, I love you because you care about me.  You bless me.  You guide us and you love us exactly the way that we are."

 "God, I love you because you are always with me and you give me strength and faith."

"I love you because you are beautiful.  You fulfill all of my desires and you are good to me."
