Is it worth the price?
Hello,
I first came home and felt the need to write something in my blog.
We here at the moment through a difficult time. Many staff members and interns are sick, what does the rest for a lot more work. At the beginning of the semester heard We often the motto of "More with less - achieve more with less." Not least because also plays the bad economy and lack of staff involved. Sometimes I see what all is done and think that it is not feasible.
But every day's the same phenomenon: I see the kids, families and the brokenness and suddenly everything makes sense. How can you describe it?! The fact that we have the opportunity every day on the street in the heart of hundreds of children, teenagers and adults to speak, is eye-opening. Today we have preached about the fact that they do not have to be like all others, but differ from the rest and can be different - "Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind "-.. Romans 12:2
When I came back today from sidewalk and the building for indoor Sunday School was finished, I wanted to go home but one of our teenagers. asked me if I would eat with him was. I had almost said no. He told me his whole life story. As he was the only child who was already suspended from preschool, because ADS him to handle, made of course affiliations, girls' stories, fights, lies, buildings ... just about every negative thing you can imagine. And that tells me a teenager. Until he comes to the day.
A youth meeting in which he decided to be different than the rest. So simple it was. He went immediately from the course, which has beaten him then tidy. His life has changed since then. He said in fact, that has changed on the day his perspective on his life - (or as Paul would say:) held a renewal of the sense.
Whatever we preach, it must make a difference in me. What does it mean for me, not of this world to be conformed to be like everyone else? I look at my situation and this question is easily answered. Especially now that we have so much going I must have simply stay the course and to see what God is doing and what He will.
God changes people, if they choose not of this world to be the same. What does this cost? It sometimes takes a lot. But how could I ask for the price it will cost to bring someone to this decision?
It is much more value ...
God bless you, Daniel
