Session Three
You’ve heard the words before--“love your neighbor as yourself”--but most of the time we don’t really hear the second half of that. We don’t love ourselves. Perhaps it’s because it just seems wrong. After all, as followers of Christ, we are supposed to become less as He becomes more. But for some of us, somewhere along the way we’ve confused humility with self-hatred. If we feel like we aren't good enough or can be loved because we have messed up too much, it's because we have forgot about or stopped focusing on the WONDER of who God is and that He does love us.

RHYTHM WITH GOD HELPS US DISCOVER WHO WE ARE
Session Three Parent Cue: This week students will be challenged to think about how they view themselves. How we view God our Creator affects how we view His creation, ourselves.
They will consider the masks they wear and the faults they try to cover up, and
they'll receive a challenge to use their gifts, given to them by God, to discover who they are. Talk openly and candidly with your student this week about
the things both of you have a hard time accepting when it comes to the faults
you see in yourself. How can you better accept yourselves as you are?
This week: Come serve as a family during Winter Sanctuary
