Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name. Remember these words dear ones, in verse 3!

Let s continue in our book Desire of Ages, Chapter #39, pages 370-371 The work of building up the kingdom of Christ will go forward, though to all appearance it moves slowly and impossibilities seem to testify against advance. The work is of God, and He will furnish means, and will send helpers, true, earnest disciples, whose hands also will be filled with food for the starving multitude. God is not unmindful of those who labor in love to give the word of life to perishing souls, who in their turn reach forth their hands for food for other hungry souls. {DA 370.2} Question: How will the works of building up the kingdom of Christ go and appear to move? Answer: It will go forward, though to all appearance it moves slowly and impossibilities seem to testify against advance God will furnish means and, will send helpers, true, earnest disciples, whose hands also will be filled with food for the starving multitude. Song: Let s learn our first song together dear ones entitle, Here are my Hands to help them serve! Here are my Hands! Here are my hands help them serve. Let my mouth speak Your Words. And my ears to hear Your Voice, Got my feet to follow Your Path, Got my eyes to see, all that You want me to be! And I will obey You with all my heart. And I will obey You with all my heart. In our work for God there is danger of relying too largely upon what man with his talents and ability can do. Thus we lose sight of the one Master Worker. Too often the worker for Christ fails to realize his personal responsibility. He is in danger of shifting his burden upon organizations, instead of relying upon Him who is the source of all strength. It is a great mistake to trust in human wisdom or numbers in the work of God. Successful work for Christ depends not so much on numbers or talent as upon pureness of purpose, the true simplicity of earnest, dependent faith. Personal responsibilities must be borne, personal duties must be taken up, personal efforts must be made for those who do not know Christ. In the place of shifting your responsibility upon someone whom you think more richly endowed than you are, work according to your ability. {DA 370.3} Question: What is man in, if he shifts his burden upon organizations failing to realize his personal responsibility? Answer: He is in danger, of relying too largely upon what man with his talents and ability can do. Thus we lose sight of the one Master Worker.

When the question comes home to your heart, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? let not your answer be the response of unbelief. When the disciples heard the Saviour's direction, Give ye them to eat, all the difficulties arose in their minds. They questioned, Shall we go away into the villages to buy food? So now, when the people are destitute of the bread of life, the Lord's children question, Shall we send for someone from afar, to come and feed them? But what said Christ? Make the men sit down, and He fed them there. So when you are surrounded by souls in need, know that Christ is there. Commune with Him. Bring your barley loaves to Jesus. {DA 370.4} Question: What promises does Jesus leave for us today from the direction given to His disciples, Make the men sit down, and He fed them there? Answer: When you are surrounded by souls in need, know that Christ is there and Commune with Him. Bring your barley loaves to Jesus. The means in our possession may not seem to be sufficient for the work; but if we will move forward in faith, believing in the all-sufficient power of God, abundant resources will open before us. If the work be of God, He Himself will provide the means for its accomplishment. He will reward honest, simple reliance upon Him. The little that is wisely and economically used in the service of the Lord of heaven will increase in the very act of imparting. In the hand of Christ the small supply of food remained undiminished until the famished multitude were satisfied. If we go to the Source of all strength, with our hands of faith outstretched to receive, we shall be sustained in our work, even under the most forbidding circumstances, and shall be enabled to give to others the bread of life. {DA 371.1} Question: What will happen, if we go to the Source of all strength, with our hands of faith outstretched to receive? Answer: We shall be sustained in our work, even under the most forbidding circumstances, and shall be enabled to give to others the bread of life. The Lord says, Give, and it shall be given unto you He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work: as it is written,-- He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever. Question: What is God able to make? And, what is written about His all sufficiency in the Holy Bible about it? Answer: God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work. And, He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever. Children s Sabbath School _ Lesson#172 (3.26.16) Page 3

Gather the little ones together! It s Story Time! Our book selection this Sabbath is entitle, Sons and Daughters of God Chapter 4-The Renewed Heart Loves as Christ Loved A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. John 13:34. {SD 101.1} Jesus says, "Love one another as I have loved you." Love is not simply an impulse, a transitory emotion, dependent upon circumstances; it is a living principle, a permanent power. The soul is fed by the streams of pure love that flow from the heart of Christ, as a well-spring that never fails. O, how is the heart quickened, how are its motives ennobled, its affections deepened, by this communion! Under the education and discipline of the Holy Spirit, the children of God love one another, truly, sincerely, unaffectedly,--"without partiality, and without hypocrisy." And this because the heart is in love with Jesus. Our affection for one another springs from our common relation to God. We are one family, we love one another as He loved us. When compared with this true, sanctified, disciplined affection, the shallow courtesy of the world, the meaningless expression of effusive friendship, are as chaff to the wheat. {SD 101.2} To love as Christ loved means to manifest unselfishness at all times and in all places, by kind words and pleasant looks.... Genuine love is a precious attribute of heavenly origin, which increases its fragrance in proportion as it is dispensed to others.... {SD 101.3} Christ's love is deep and earnest, flowing like an irrepressible stream to all who will accept it. There is no selfishness in His love. If this heaven-born love is an abiding principle in the heart, it will make itself known, not only to those we hold most dear in sacred relationship, but to all with whom we come in contact. It will lead us to bestow little acts of attention, to make concessions, to perform deeds of kindness, to speak tender, true, encouraging words. It will lead us to sympathize with those whose hearts hunger for sympathy. {SD 101.4} Next Week: We will continue with part 4 in of lesson entitle, Give Ye Them to Eat of our book Desire of Ages Closing Prayer request one of the little ones or mommies or daddies to give prayer.
