We often reprint prior devotions that now reflect on the coming lectionary texts. This is a reprint from a devotion originally published on October 29, 2014.
Reading: 1 John 3:1-7 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: It’s one of my favorite camp songs. The little children love it. The big children love it, too. Sometimes when Chad and I led songs after a meal, we used the song as a transition between other songs. Sometimes we just sing it over and over with various voices, volumes, etc. I have used it at off-site camps to get control of a rowdy bunch of kids. Just start singing, they will follow and give you their attention. Why am I talking about it? Let’s sing. Jesus loves the little children All the children of the world Every color, shape, and size They are precious in His eyes Jesus loves the little children of the world --Jim Bricker
