We all come into this world basically the same way:
Bald and with no teeth🧑🏻🦲🦷☺️
Youth is an important time of life. Pre-packaged answers, instructions and ways of life may confront us daily causing unhappiness. (Pf). It is better to question everything. And realize deja vu may come in many shapes and sizes. Question everything.
EVERYTHING.
Jesus did. He was not a storybook character, a super hero. He walks quietly beside you, silently even encouraging you to resist the race, the rat race and fearlessly face the venture of your life (PF). He encourages youth especially to do this.
We need you kids. A lot.
The future is in your hands. Choose wisely. Choose burdened. Choose unburdened. Choose to quietly unburden your doubts, problems, and misgivings to Jesus quietly. Without moodiness. Without regret.
Mistakes are the actions that put us on the path to not wasting precious time. Those who dare to challenge, to question, win the prize. Of long and everlasting truth and consequence. Open up. Open yourself up to his daily lessons. They are everywhere. Be ready to take charge.
Ask yourself: “What are you looking for in life?” The answers lie not always in the mirror. How?
Encounters with Jesus. Through words, deeds, actions. Interactions with beings who talk and beings who do not talk, who do not speak words that you may understand. 🐱🐶🦊🐸🙊🐢🦎
Become the best. You. Challenge. Ask questions. Everyday. Of everything. Jesus silently asks you to exercise your right to ask questions to avoid prepackage, machine- like answers.
What we do with the rest of our day, days does matter. Choose wisely. Choose burdened. Choose unburdened. Service to others is never wasted on the youngsters or oldsters, middle aged or in between. Bald with no teeth.
How we navigate the best is personal responsibility. Toward self. Toward others. Out loud. In silence.
As he walks alongside us silently, He asks us to spend time alone everyday in silence. To reflect. To figure out the slings. The arrows. The “oops”. The good moments. And.
Practice.
Practice.
Practice.
Like an excellent coach Jesus asks youth to engage in two steps:
Aim high.
Train.
How we do this is practice, practice, practice. Put your young talents to good use. Those who dare win the prize. Of encounters of quiet lessons from Jesus. Silence is a soil we cultivate great relationships. Dialogue with Jesus, who is the best of coaches, a complete team player is an excellent path to walk. He opens the path. Walks with you. (pf)
Never alone. Always learning. Lessons of a good life. A well lived life. A life well lived. An ambitious way of life. Jesus never desires to shatter your ambitions. He only desires greatness for you.
He teaches us silently and through words, deeds and actions how to do this. How to be the best of self.
He ever wants you to achieve your greatness, obtain your goals by shattering another person. Bringing down another person.
No. Never. That is not how Jesus operates. He never wants us to step on another individual.
He desires you to stoop.
Stoop to help another.
Who is tired.
Who has fallen.
Who is burdened by life.
How?
Service to another. No couch potatoe-ing allowed😃🫵🏻. No quiet.No timidity allowed. Take charge. Silence is not always, does not always include dialogue with a cell phone. It is one tool of use to you. There are so many more good tools, great tools to use.
You can develop SO many more tools. If you will stop and listen to Jesus. Swim against the tide even. Challenge. Ask questions. This is one of the elements of training to help stop the race, the rat race, the hustle, the bustle. (PF)
Sometimes we believe that because we are so busy, we are accomplishing so much. When if effect, we run out of gas and are plain and simply tired. To tired to move. Too tired to think. To tired to read a book. Even the good book.
There are so many beautiful lesson in a book Jesus encourages us to read, review, train and practice, practice, practice the lessons. A book that we learn to read human hearts.
How cool is that?
We blunder sometimes. Do not always follow the teachings, the lessons. Take the short cut, thinking we will accomplish something faster, better, stronger. Reminder. Jesus is patient. He is kind. He is not a story book character or a super hero.
He would like you to become the super hero of the story and the walk you learn if and with Him. Climb the ladder of your success so that you can honestly and productively and responsibly share the best with others.
Take a quiet and silent moment to stop. To pray. Learn forgiveness. Practice forgiveness. He never condemns us. He does not want us to condemn another either. But we engage with our bad moods. We brood over the failings and shortcomings and get stuck.
In our own heads. He silently whispers with you and for you. To unburden your fears and worries. Not fast. Not furiously. With patience and kindness and un bluntness of intentions. That is what the coach of all coaches tells us daily.
We need to practice, practice, practice. Silently. With words, deeds and actions as well. Share our best. Talk and pray to Jesus and pray about our worst-ness🙂. Ask him how we challenge ourselves better. To become better. In His eyes.
Then we make the best use of our time. Never become bored. Express yourself as the leader you are meant to be because you questioned, did not always follow the crowd.
We followed Him. He listened. We tried again. And we are ok. We are his children. He did not creat us to waste ourselves, our time, the precious time He gives us everyday. There is something to be said for maturity. Energy of youthfulness that guides us to give and not always take.
Avoid the silly. Avoid the trivial. Growing and changing are a part of the program, a part of the lesson. Listen to His word. Be fearless in your pursuit of what you believe and think. Leave the rest up to Him to guide you.
Choose wisely. And if you choose to follow Him, His word. There will be fewer regrets and more joy to spread and serve with cheer. Because you listened and more importantly.
You heard.
