If you know me, you know there is not that I love more than this generation. I believe that Thrive is some of the most awesome students in the world and that I am truly the luckiest Youth Pastor alive. Here is a note that one of Thrive's students posted on Facebook and you will understand what I am talking about:
I was up late, wondering, and this is what i thought...
1. What If we stop being "Half-Way" Christians?
2. What If we were not Afraid to Tell The World about our dreams of Following God?
3. What If we Trusted God instead of Doubted him?
4. What If we Went Out of Our Way and Comfort Zone?
5. What If we loved everyone like He planned for us to?
6. What If we loved them Unconditionally?
7. What If we Gave without expecting anythin in Return?
8. What If we did it without eyes Watching Us?
9. What If we did it because it was the right thing to do?
10. What If we did it because we Wanted to, not because we thought we Had to?
11. What If we Wanted to?
12. What If The World said to Keep Quiet, and we Did not?
13. What If those with Non-Believing Loved Ones, Kept on Believing?
14. What If the Non-Believers saw that, and started to Believe?
15. What If we did not Falter?
16. What If, when we Did, we still Came Back to God?
17. What If we took time and actually Acknowledged "That Kid" in the Back of the room?
18. What if we even Accepted her?
19. What If we made Constant and Passionate Effort to Reach Out to those who are Hurting?
20. What If, when faced with a Conflict, we Prayed instead of Cursed?
21. What If, instead of telling Non-Believers all the reasons why they're Wrong, we would Shut-Up and
Listen, then Share what we believe and why?
22. What If we showed Compassion and Love, instead of Criticism?
And What If,... We Made A Difference?
... Just wondering...
