Therefore, if anyone
is in Christ, he is a new creation.”
2 Corinthians 5:17a
My Fun Life group has a weekly Bible study that
meets on Thursday nights. Last time we
met for Bible study, we made pumpkin paper plates and talked about
Halloween. My leader told us that the
pumpkin could symbolize the way Christians are supposed to shine as lights for
Christ.
When we accept Jesus into our hearts,
He comes in and cleans all the dirt out of our lives, then he “carves us out”
in his image and makes us “a new creation.”
The light that shines inside the pumpkin could symbolize the light and
hope that Jesus brings into our lives when we truly trust Him as our savior.
Then she gave us Twix bars and said, “Don’t let the devil Twix you.”
She meant that Satan is always
trying to mess with our minds. He’s
always trying to make us think we’re not good enough for God. He wants to make sure our light for Christ
goes out for good.
As Christians, we need to do things
like be in fellowship with other believers, pray, and read the Bible. During the week, I like to listen to praise
music in the morning. If we do these things, we keep our minds and our hearts pure
and we won’t be “Twixed” by the devil!
Dear
Lord,
Help
me not to be “Twixed” by the devil.
Amen
