Last Sunday instead of having our normal interactive station that you pass by on your way to your seat, we had something for everyone to participate in during the service.
I picked up a bucket of daisies & passed one out to each person in church. Our pastor then reminded us of the old game of “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not” & had us pull the petals off the flower. So many of us remember at least seeing that on TV or in a movie. But it seems like we approach God in the same way. When things are going well, He Loves Me. When things aren’t going well, He Loves Me Not. {in addition: In Christ, we should say, He Loves Me, He Loves Me, He Loves Me. (Romans 8:38-39)}
The flowers were inexpensive. It was hands on. Everyone saw it, touched it, smelled it, pulled the petals, remembered something in the past… it seemed to go really well.
Our pastor went on to say that it isn’t only an issue of feeling God’s love or not, but that scripture actually mentions the wrath of God as well. John 3:16 mentions that whoever believes in Christ, SHOULD NOT PERISH… It is not just being saved to eternal life, but being saved from wrath.
