“I Shared Jesus At School”
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I wrote this verse out and took it to school (where I was told I could not share my Bible) and gave it to my friends. It made me feel good to share Jesus with them.

Dear Jade W.:
You surely are a “child of God”, who “beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14).
Like John, but wise, courageous and loving way beyond your years, you bear witness of Him in your school: “a voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY OF THE LORD…’ (John 1:23).
Your blessed Grandmother certainly is insightful that God detests the sin, but loves the sinners. It is no wonder that your beautiful family photo reflects overwhelmingly a house of faith, hope, love, and joy.
Mine is a house of rascals :-(.
Keep up with your good work.
You appear to be a world evangelist in the making.
I pray that you will not get into trouble with the school, however.
Thank you.
May GOD ALL MIGHTY Bless each and all of you, and generations to come, infinitely and inestimably;
GODSPEED, always and forevermore!
Mary Sun.

See, Jade, you witnessed anyway, after being told, oh don’t DO that here, we don’t want religion, thank you……but you did it anyway, and God will reward you for that. It is one thing to witness in a place where it is welcomed but quite another to do it in a place where one was specifically told not to do it. Good for you. You put God ahead of anything else and He is proud of you. That took courage, let us say guts, to get to the heart of it, Jade. Keep it up. People do not love God, but God loves them, and we keep witnessing whether it is the popular or unpopular thing to do. I am impressed with what you did.
