I love working with young people, but we all know you sometimes just come across some young people that you just struggle with, the thought goes through your mind that wow I just can't get through to them. Well I know loads of them young people and most are non-Christians, I love working with them I can relate the them in so many ways! God has really gave me a heart for the lost, It is awesome building friendships with them and being someone they can rely on be Jesus to them. 1 John 4:19 "we love because he first loved us." Show them the unconditional and great love our heavenly father shows us, we should be willing to do anything for a brother and sister in Christ whether they are lost or found. It is like the Parable of the Lost Sheep - Luke 15:3-7 "Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it? When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing. When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbours, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance." This Shepard went out looking for this one sheep hunting and not giving up until he found it, then he carried the sheep home rejoicing in the process. Then he invites his friends to rejoice with him, God wants us to be the Shepard. Jesus was exactly that in his ministry, We should be hunting for the lost loving them unconditionally and Rejoice when they are found, Just as God does in heaven. John 5:19 "Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does." Our father shows unconditional do the same, seek him and do as he wants and the rest will fall in to place just LOVE... It's what God does, that's what Jesus done, It is amazing the difference you make in a young persons life by doing what you see your father doing, it can be life changing. I posted this big rant because I have been challenged big time on loving everyone unconditionally and showing forgiveness in all situations, I am trying to challenge myself to do this for the rest of my days and I would encourage everyone to do the same! 1 John 4:20-21 "Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister." Unconditionally love! some people can be difficult but hey being a Christian and doing Gods work is never going to be simple but this is why it is worth it! 1 John 4:13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. We are all the body of Christ and witnesses of the living God so lets all do as he does and love all our brothers and sisters unconditionally!
