Explain!!!!
Please, someone, explain to me how a 17-year old girl can be so confused?! She’s a preacher kid, she attends church, youth events, teaches Sunday school, is part of a worship team. Now explain, why is she so confused?!
Now, what makes me think that she’s confused… I just went to her house today, without calling before hand, which is normal in our community. It’s a Sunday afternoon, it’s cold, nothing is going on and I’m bored. I arrive, park and knock on the door. I happen to know her parents aren’t home. A friend with a really uninviting look on his face answers. The house is dark inside with sensual music blaring from a stereo system. I can barely see one or two people sitting on the couch. The guy says: “This is a private party”. I say, “yeah right”. “It is.”
I went straight home, praying.
Now explain to me what is going on in my friends mind? Her parents are gone and she invites a bunch of people to her house, with the lights off, loud music and thank God I didn’t get to see anything more. I don´t want to assume the worst, but… knowing some of the people I saw there…
I feel like crying. I have prayed for these youth for so long. By myself and together with other friends. Why does this happen?!!!!
I´ll tell you with one word. Evil. Not just that, its misinformation, miseducation or some other mis-something that I’m missing. What I’m saying is it isn’t entirely the kids fault, it mostly, but not all. I’m not blaming on the parents either, well maybe a bit, but not all that much. I guess nobody can just put the blame on someone else, every person is responsible for their own actions.
Now what am I going to do about this? Half the people at that private party go to my school or are even in my class. Im going to be praying really hard. Please do the same. I’ll already talked to a mature friend and we agreed that prayer was the best weapon. God’ll do the rest.
(Update). It’s funny how a few weeks later this seems like it was nothing. I’ve prayed a lot and I think I’m seeing some changes in some of the Youth here. I explicitly prayed that they would feel extremely empty inside. That’s how some of them appear to be, empty, without purpose and without true happiness. Now I’m starting to pray that God may use me to help them in whatever way he has planned.
