My heart as a teacher

3 John 1:4
"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. "

I would say the same about my students. 

I remember the time that one class went above and beyond in grasping the truth in our study about salvation and the doctrine of God, calling the answer back to me in amazing fashion.  From all over the room I was getting rapid-fire answers about what we had researched, and there was excitement in their voices. They had not only locked it in their hearts, they were ready to use it.  They were enthusiastic and energetic about the Bible.

I actually started crying in class. 

It was a great, great moment.
