I was touched last evening by a small act of kindness that only comes from a belief system, faith if you will.
There is a group (kids, teens, young adults) in our community that minister to children and teens that may never have the opportunity to hear the message that Jesus delivered for us. The group takes the youth and teaches them the Word of God as well as giving them a safe place other than hanging out on the street (where they most likely would get into some sort of mischief). I watched these kids play and have fun and worship in their own way to the music that was being provided to them by another youth from our community. This young man has a heart for God, and a love for the music that was given to him as a gift from God. A small group of young people (and one old one) was put together specifically to minister to these young people in need. Several kids spent time in groups away from the main group, but observing them, I could tell they were listening to the music and message. Many of the kids were singing along and not caring about what other were thinking about them. What an awesome, God-filled time was had by both the youth in need and the youth leading the worship time. Not to mention the old guy who sat and laughed, prayed and was in as much need as the young people that we were there to serve.
I thank my God for the ability and the knowledge to do what is needed, and I thank the young people who have the forethought and wisdom to pass this along to other young people. Tyler, you are wise beyond your years my friend. The young people of the community have a wonderful person to look up to. I have a wonderful friend that teaches me everyday how I should live. Living by example and living by faith are the best ways to live your life. My faith is stronger today my friend!
Live by example,
Live by faith!!
Rick
