I love you. Sometimes I really would like to say this to you. But sometimes fear ate up the chance, lack of courage visited, or moments of anger brushed that thought of. But all these didn't had any value that last... Because, I love you.
Come to think of our 0203 and 0104, there are many things which you all did are amazing. How you all faithfully attend service and tq without having to call and how you all willing fulfill demanding requests made just because people would think youths have lots of free time. We shouldn't take all these efforts that you guys made for granted!
From time to time, you grow into more mature and thinking-alike with Jesus. From time to time, you start to understand the confusions in life. Nevertheless from time to time, you also find the higher purpose of living. That's growing up, and that's healthy!
From letting your leaders track your tithes and doing up styroforms wordings for services and weddings... Your energy to talk all night round, your strength to move the sound systems, your willingness to come few hours early for most of the events... WOW! So much efforts put in!
Although we always make mistakes, anger the adults and frighten our parents especially with our results, but at least we live a life truthful to ourselves. We are living a life of our own. However, as you grow, you may find life beyond your control in many more areas. And you'll find yourself struggling to balance what you want to do, what you should do and then comes up with something kind of balancing both.
That kind of life has more value, because you start to live for others more than for yourselves. Moreover, for Christ. But there's a good news to this kind of life! And the secret is... You can enjoy it! Yes, I'm saying you can enjoy the struggles and the troubles which comes along the way. Not that we will enjoy struggling or troubling, but these trials often bring about greater joy, peace and love to your life.
Find your position. Find your balance. Don't be upset if you're trying very hard but seems just not to get it right. Sometimes it's only the process you have to go through to make you a better and stronger person. Eagles carry their babies high up in the sky and throw them down. Their mothers look at them struggle, kick about and many a times in great frustrations. Before they reach the ground, their parent will be there to pick them up safely and carry them to heights to throw them down again.
Youth days are like that. It's the few throws you are facing now which will prepare you to soar higher than other birds. Don't worry, His hands will always be there to reach out for you before you crash to ground, He's in total control!
0204 and 0104 have been brave and I'm so proud of all of you. Sometimes whenever I have chance, I'll brag about how good our youth performance, unity and mature values are to other churches... Oh I really think many many many of us should learn from you guys in a lot of ways. Like, your sincerity, your courage and humbleness.
SO let's keep up the good work, and not let our guards down, because in time to come, YOU are the one answering YOUR life to God. Hopefully then it's not full of regrets but rewards! Share your weights around, let others dress your wounds.
THEN, love will...
grOW!
PS: I love you.
