Time does go by faster and faster. I am reminded of that when I see old Jr. Highers graduating from highschool and entering into college. I also am reminded when I see the frailty of human beings that this life was not suppose to be this way. When I read Genesis 1 I see that God had a plan and of course that plan was Jesus but I long for the future plan, being with Christ, being in his presence, being away from the misery of sin and into the perfection of the Godhead.
But------
Even when I long, I can not neglect what my purpose here on earth is. Showing the love of God through Christ to humanity. May I be diligent in my work as a Christian which encompasses every aspect of my life, may you be diligent as your work as a Christian in your homes and in your professions and in your schools. This life is short, make the most of every opportunity.
Romans 12:9-13~ Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in pryaer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
Please bring this year in prayer for the ministry, for those in need, for my wife and I, and also that we will meet the needs of Jr. Highers. We should always long to outdo the previous year with things for the Lord. May we all draw closer and throw off the hinderance of sin.
With all that said, I just want to encourage everyone to make sure when you come to service that you are making relationships with the youth. I see more talking with one another and even though that is good that we can have fellowship, let us make another time for that so we can focus on the task at hand.
