During Camp Day 1: Mission

God Loves and Restores Us

Read: John 21:15-17

We come to Impact with a lot of different expectations. We come with a lot of different experiences and a lot of history that may make us feel unworthy to share the love of God with others. But this week, we come together as a community of people who are have known joy and sorrow, confidence and doubt, courage and fear. We come together as a community of people that God loves, God forgives, and God helps.

In the passage from John, Jesus offered Peter forgiveness for giving in to his fear – for denying him. And He restored him to new life. Even more, Jesus restored Peter to the Mission He had given him. No matter what is distracting us this week, we can leave it behind and focus on what God is planning to do through us. God will work through us in spite of whether we feel worthy of that privilege or not. Focus this week on what God may be revealing to you about what true justice looks like. Focus this week on what God has done for you and plans to do through you.

Reflection

What expectations do you bring to camp this week?

Prayer

God of Justice, thank you for offering restoration to me – to us all. Thank You for Your love, Your mercy, and the amazing privilege of offering that same love to others – both this week and when it is time to leave.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
2 Corinthians 4:16-17

Merry Christmas! Isaiah 9:2-7 The people who walke Merry Christmas!
Isaiah 9:2-7
The people who walked in darkness
  have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,
 on them has light shone.
You have multiplied the nation;
 you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
  as with joy at the harvest,
 as they are glad when they divide the spoil.
For the yoke of his burden,
 and the staff for his shoulder,
 the rod of his oppressor,
 you have broken as on the day of Midian.
For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult
  and every garment rolled in blood
  will be burned as fuel for the fire.
For to us a child is born,
 to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
 and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
 Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and of peace
  there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
 to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
  from this time forth and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
