As I looked through my toolbox with the children yesterday in search for the right tool to fix my watch I was reminded that we are all tools for God's use. Each one of us was created by God because He loves us so much and He gave each of us a special purpose. God says that He has "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." He gives us a purpose like the hammer was created for a purpose. Not to smash watches (although that can be fun) but to pound in nails into hard surfaces. There are some of us who were created to care for others. To take care of the sick. To take care of the people who are hurting. The tape measure helps us to know how long things are and make sure we have things straight. Some people were created to teach and to preach. They are the people who steer us in the right direction and give us deeper knowledge. God gave each of us a purpose so we can give thanks to Him and serve Him in special ways. By allowing God to use us for the purpose that He has for us we are helping God to spread His love and to lead others to Him.
Over the next three weeks in Sunday School the kids will be learning about stewardship and what it means to be a good steward of what God has given us.
