What would be your response if you were asked to teach next Sunday morning? Sometimes when we're asked to share our growing spiritual understanding with a Sunday School class, the first thought that comes is to run the other way: "Who, me? Oh, I couldn't." "I don't know enough." "I wouldn't know what to say or how to say it." "I couldn't control the class." "I can't relate to young people today."
Such fears would paralyze our usefulness as Sunday School teachers, if we let them influence our decisions. Teaching isn't difficult; but it is a matter of demonstration. Love is always at hand to cope with any situation, to impart all we need to know, moment by moment. We can count on Love to show us HOW to teach effectively. The secret is to be so filled with Love that we lose all sense of self-consciousness.
Speaking from experience, a Sunday School teacher in Texas writes, "There is no magic formula to teaching, any more than there is to healing; it is the constant effort to pray for guidance, and then to listen for the Father's direction for each problem and each question."
