I had a glimpse of eternity. 1000 plus middle school students singing praises at the top of their voices to God. How many concerts are there where students sing praises to the Jonas Brothers or Hannah Montana, but that moment was for God. I was away from my wife, my comfy bed, missing the Olympic Opening Ceremony but it was all worth it for those moments when I can see these students connecting with God.
My wife and close friends know that I can get emotional, I cry at moments in movies that aren’t even sad =) but I cried as I sat there and listened to these children go hoarse lifting their voices to their Heavenly Father.
I was mid conversation with some students when one of the girls started crying. When I asked her what was on her mind she said she was crying for her friends that didn’t have a relationship with Christ… wow. In that moment I saw my savior in the tears of a 7th grader. I saw Jesus’ tears for the lost.
