i need to get this off my chest.
I have been talking with a couple of brothers and sisters about treasuring our youth for God. It really helped me to realize how precious it is to give our youth to God. It is really our prime years, the years where we are fresh and can do a lot for Him. However, during these years, there are so many temptations that can drag us away, draging us away from whats most important. There are so many things that attract us, many things we want to try, that prevent us from living for God.
Therefore I cant imagine how happy and overjoyed the Lord is when we give our youth to Him. And I treasure so much that I can give my youth to the Lord even though there are temptations surrounding me. I also treasure the youth in our church who really has a pure heart for God. When I really think about it, the group of pure hearted youth in our church are so precious and its so touching, that it makes me tear up (lol, i cry too easily nowadays).
However, on the other hand, there are still many youths out there searching for the meaning of life, meanwhile, they are wasting it. It makes me sad thinking about this, and they dont know how poor and needly they really are. Their spirits are dehydrated, yet they are drying it up more and more instead of finding water for it. I pray that the Lord will ignite a great revival among the youths.
These days, I have been meditating on the Lord's great love. His love is so abundant, and so beautiful. I have realized that God created us to be satisfied with this love, and with this love only. Even if we dont have anything, but His love, we will still be the most satisfied. We need nothing but God's love to us. And come to think of it, the other blessings He gives us are just bonuses, because He loves us so so much, He cant help but give.
And yet, how very sad, that many youths who know about this love, dont choose it. They choose to try and let other things satisfy their hearts, but it never does, so their hearts keep searching.
Its like they are given a choice to eat dirt or to eat the most delicious meal in the whole universe, but they choose the dirt because thats what other people are eating. They are blinded by the enemy, and cannot see or smell how great the real food is. So they settle for dirt. Or they have tired the meal once, but because they havent let themselves near it for a while, they forgot how great it is, so they eat whatever the people around them is eating.
(wow please excuse my analogies....its late, but its the only thing in my mind to explain what im thinking)
This really sickens me greatly. I was thinking about this last night, and couldnt really sleep. I have a greater burden to save the youth. I have a greater burden to give to God a group of youths who love Him most because they have tasted His love.
I myself also need to taste His love more, so that I wont forget how great it is, and dont stray away.
We truly need to be drawn away by His love every moment.
I'm tired, I need to sleep now.
Please pray for the youth of this generation.
