No one is perfect. It is early in the morning as I start to write this post and I realize that I have already fallen short of God's glory for the day. Yet, as God has given me the privilege to rise this morning, He has also give me a reason to love Him more. The blessings that continue to come from God are amazing.
I have discovered that my family was on my mind. God's Bethel was on my mind. The ministry at Drew Theological School was on my mind. Chosen for Service enterprises was on my mind. But young people were especially on my mind. Our young people must know and see the authentic commitment that we have to the message of the gospel. What do young people see when they look at us? Do they see us on a gospel pedastal of our own construction or do they see some one who is fallible, imperfect, yet filled with the grace, knowledge and joy of Christ.
George Benson, many years before Whitney Houston, penned and sang a song entitled, "The Greatest Love of All". There is line in that song, - "Everybody's searching for a hero, people need someone to look up to." Our young people are looking for hero. Have they seen Christ in us? Can they see Christ in us?
