New Life

Written by

“Teacher, I don’t know what happened, but I don’t get angry anymore when someone mistreats me,” one of our girls told me on  our  bike ride. “Something inside me tells me that they have a hurt heart and that I should talk back nicely. So I smile and they ask me why and I say that I am practicing a new life.” Something inside me moved. Did she indeed get new life? The joy at a new saved soul, the one we have been praying for for over a year, grew. “Today God helped me teach Sunday school,” she said. I don’t yell at the students and they behaved so well. Someone inside me was telling me how to teach.” She indeed had done a very wonderful job teaching the little ones.  “I tell you, I have new life!”

I am not the only one who had noticed a change in her. The Lord had indeed saved her! What a joy to see our students coming  to Christ!

Another girl, a very constant frown on her lovely face, had turned to smiles as her passion for education grew and her bubbly personality emerged. “How many pages should I do for homework?” she had asked one day. “5,” I replied. “Huh? only 5? I want to do 30.” She came to school later with her homework all complete.

A young man, life characterized by outbursts of frustration, has now become more at ease and peace. With a terrible past of abuse, he has slowly been healed by Gods loving touch and is now a different person.

It is a privilege to see the changes that are happening in the lives of our children=)
