Message
Did you know that a majority of kids today grow up thinking that life has little to no purpose? It is for this reason that we want kids worldwide to know that they were “Made To Shine.” This is why Lightgliders exists! Kids were uniquely created by God (i.e., Made) to love Him and love others (i.e., to Shine). Their lives have incredible purpose and, once they discover this powerful truth, they will begin exploring how their unique interests, personalities, and talents can be used to make an impact on the world around them. God loves His children and created them to live lives of purpose. It is a responsibility and privilege to talk with kids about how they were uniquely created to shine!
With a lot of darkness in our world, that can feel like a big responsibility. The good news, though, is that we have Jesus Christ as our example! The Bible tells us that Jesus shares light that will never go out:
Verse
"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it."~John 1:5 (NLT)
God sent His Son Jesus to shine in the world and save us. To show and to share God's love is to shine light in the darkness!
