“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
-1 Timothy 4:12 –
As a youth director my favorite thing about my job is seeing what I saw all day today. Adolescents being redefined by the love and grace and Jesus Christ so that they are equipped to define what the world should stand for.
What God desires for the lives of every living citizen to stand for.
Mission. Service. Helping Others.
Which of these qualities does the youth of today possess?
Unforunately for most people the answer to that question is, “None.”
However, I respectfully disagree. I’ve seen it with my very eyes and heart that they possess all of these qualities.
After all consider the very words of Jesus.
“Let the children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
