Mikaela Moening
During staff training bible study, I was in a group with four other counselors. Our theme of the day was “we are loved.” The big thing that stuck with me was an analogy shared by a friend- “If you have a clay pot over a light with no cracks or holes you wouldn’t be able to see the light underneath. If we, as Christians didn’t have ‘cracks’ or imperfections, we would not be able to see God’s light shine in us.” Ever since I heard this, I have been living by it. Something I continue to stress to my campers is that God’s light shines through our imperfections and we are who we are for a reason. The verse that I would use with this story is Psalm 139. It is a great scripture for kids to read so they know how much God truly loves them through everything. Psalm 139:1 says “O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.” Our God has created each of us for one specific calling, and he will be along with us for the journey!
