28 May 08 - Youths on Fire

I really have to admit: blogging is really addictive n also a good challenge to learn priortising.(So thankful to my therapist who showed me to this channel) So many happenings, so much thoughts and reflections in one day - yet I can only blog ONE each day. (See, people, I'm already trying my best not to bore you with all those 'enlightening' and 'freaking' stuff.)

Today, out of all blessings, what really made my heart leap(and is still leaping) with joy is the cellgroup with the youths last night. I've always burdened for young people, youths, leaders for the future. (Maybe bcos of the strong passion for youths during my years in CHC)..Youths, adolescents, self-identifying period of life, critical and precious journey of life.. This is the life-turning point- whatever decision they make will affect the rest of their life journey. Personally, this is the time when you are either on Fire for God, or for the world. It is really a tough decision-making at this age, though one really cannot understand the impact of his/her decision on his/her whole life then. It's really tough, I'm sure you'd agree with me...We're young before, right?


Ok, back to last night.. The sharing was really GREAT! Not only that they are open to share their life problems and joy, but also their Hunger for God. Honestly, I'm still learning how to share with them, yet not appearing to be spiritual...Afterall, I'm still new to them..I really trying my best to stay away from being 'spiritual'. To put it simply, I'm more of a listener, yet I cant help shouting inside with joy and identifying 'those days and struggles' as they share. I just feel so blessed that I actually went through what they are speaking of now.. (trust me, it was really hard when u r going thru, but it's a unexplainable joy when u r able to look back and identify with others who are going thru it now)...Maybe one day, I might be able to share my experience in depression - how He blessed me, took it away suddenly and brought me so close to Him. (It's really not my choice to take this faith journey to cross over. God simply PULL me out and put me here, and my eyes are really opened since then. Maybe He's also kinda 'fed-up' with me for wasting my time around) :D

Let's not random :) ... It's really a joy to be with youths, especially seeing them so hungry for God! Really!! The Fire and the Hunger for God can really be seen! "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Matthew 6:21 ; Luke 12:34) And "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water" (John 7:38)... It's no wonder how Jesus can SEE our faith...

Keep it up, Amplify! You will grow to be a grow tree one day for Kingdom of God! Trust me!! God is raising a new generation for His Glory!
