As I have watched many children grow into young adults the last 25 plus years, I have come to the conclusion that there is not one formula in getting them to fall in love with Jesus and not walk away as they get older. Although, there is one thing I have come to know. We have to continue to stand on solid ground with the Bible and make sure our own lives over flow with something that is so real and compelling they cannot help but want more for themselves. It starts with what they see in our hearts. Lots of words spoken at them does not seem to lure anyone, kids or adults, into something spiritual for themselves. I see them wanting Jesus because of how wonderful it seems as they see Him in others hearts. Some supernatual, somethng they know is not us.
My prayer is that the kids we have the priveledge of working with will be able to see the real deal in us.
Jesus help us let you be seen, experienced and felt.
