India Someone To Care Ministries
SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WONDER!
DO YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE SOMEONE ELSE? DO YOU WANT TO BE LIKE SOMEONE ELSE?
As I remember back to my younger days (and that was a long time ago), I do not recall disrespecting my elders.I do recall not believing all they said. In early childhood I guess we are still just wanting what we want and don’t like to be told NO. I can understand that, but also those are the years to begin teaching our young people to respect that word “NO” as it can save them a lot of heartache as they get older. .
Well this isn’t the place for me to teach on that, but I want to consider a point that might concern our teens of today.
I KNOW there was a void in my life and even though I went to church, I did not know Jesus personally. My parents did not know him either until later in years. I know as teens; there is energy, expectations and desires that just don’t quit. What I have to wonder is, why don’t teens want to believe what their parents and their elders say? The ones that love them the most seem to be the ones they don’t listen to. Now I’m not implying it is always that way, but mostly it is. At the most delicate time in the life of a teen, it seems they have more faith in their friends than they do parents and grandparents. I am glad that some of my grandchildren come to me for advice at times, but mostly that is unheard of in this day and age. WHY do they decide to make choices that lead them into wrong pathways? Well I do know some answers but, I just don’t know how to make them believe correctly before it’s too late.
I Might just as well name out the main culprit: “Music”. Young people listen and follow the lyrics of music until it is dangerous when the music is sung by drug infested musicians. There is music put out by decent God fearing people that will help to heal and uplift and lead us in right mental and spiritual directions. There is music put out there that is sensual, devilish, and just plain evil and it leads our youth into bad mental states and eventually into drugs and even Satanism. Now I just cannot make any sense out of a person of any age wanting to find a life of evil and mental turmoil. If some of you are reading this, please consider your future.
Just some reasons why I believe our young are led astray. I believe they have seen Christians proclaim to be so Holy and yet live like the world. I believe some have prayed and ask God for some answers and have not seen the answer come so they turn around and try to forget the teaching of good morals and righteous living.
Could it be that many have never known or heard of a God who loves them whose name is Jesus and those that have heard and go to church have not been taught correctly because of sin in the church? I don’t want to make this any longer right now so I just need to have you consider one thing.
Don’t you want to follow that which is right? Don’t you want to find peace and prosperity in your life? Can you make your own choices instead of rebelling against any that would try to help you and give you good counsel? You see Jesus wants to fill that void in your life and help you to become more like him. He does not expect you to be perfect, just follow his love and even though it takes some time, you will be glad you did. HE WANTS TO FILL THE VOID IN YOUR HEART WITH HIMSELF. HE WANTS TO FILL YOU WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT. {Rev Shirley J Cunningham}
