Which child are you in this picture?
This Easter day I had the privilege of teaching 5 year olds in primary.
The Primary is an organized program of religious instruction and activity in the LDS church for children eighteen months of age until 12 years old.
My husband and I were team teaching and I asked one boy which one he would be and act it out. He chose the boy folding his arms, another chose the one with the goat, and the only girl in the class chose the girl sitting at Jesus’s feet. They all got in their positions and looked at me with their big eyes as I asked them, “If you could ask Jesus any question, what would it be?” The beautiful 5 year old girl asked with all sincerity, “Am I good enough?” Another boy said,”Ya I haven’t been very good” then she said,”Ya , sometimes I just do bad things” The other boy said that he didn’t know what he would ask.
As I look at this picture I believe I have been all of these children, and with tears in my eyes I told them that I hadn’t been very good either. But because of Jesus Christ we are good enough.
Am I good enough?
I have done bad things
I hurt my brother
I snapped at my sister
I didn’t tell the whole truth
I though bad of my neighbor.
I am not good enough without my big brother.
My big brother takes care of me
He heals my brothers and sisters hearts
He helps me be impeccable with my word
He sends others to help me
To whisper in my ear to tell the truth
He sends angels to watch my back
When I have done all that I can
He puts his arm around me and says
You are good enough
I am the woman at the well… Drinking in His word n love seeing Him with the children
