The Broken Generation

A New Generation

This is what excites me. This is a passion. To build a new generation of Christians so that they can become world changers! To help create a next generation into a new generation to glorify God. I see it happening soon. I see great things in the future and amazing stories coming out of it!

But there is something that I am seeing now. I see the broken generation and it has really caught my attention and pulling my heart. I have been teaching in the schools and I see a lot of brokenness in these young faces. I see some searching, some hopeless, some giving up, some unsure and not knowing what to do. I see the struggle, the hurt and the carelessness. It saddens me because I see potential in these young people. I see the potential for them to do great things but they don't see that just yet.

When I walk down the flooded halls, I do see hope in some students but am worried for them because they get easily sucked into the peer pressures. I see the halls as a flood of guinea pigs - testing and trying new things to see if it is good for them or bad. But these guinea pigs are searching and finding the bad things in life in order to be accepted into the world of peer pressure.

It hurts me to see this happen because they KNOW it is bad. They KNOW what these things can do to them but they want to experience it for themselves. They want to prove themselves right and others wrong. They don't see what harm it can do to their future because they are stuck in the NOW.

I see others alienated because they feel as though they are aliens themselves. They are not like others and therefore become rejected and feel alone. Unworthy of living and being the outcast. It pains me to see them because they seek the attention that no one gives them. They seek but they do not receive. Discouraged and uncaring, why bother trying and trying again?

It is this broken generation that I see healed. Ending their search because they have found something they have never seen before - God.

But...

...this is just a dream.
A dream that will one day become something more.
A dream where alcohol, drugs, sex or suicidal thoughts isn't the escape.
A dream to end the search in this world.
A dream come true when they find unconditional love.
A dream that will allow them to feel like they belong.
A dream where they will lift up their hands and thank God with everything they've got!

A dream that will one day become a reality.

Dream big because big things will happen when you follow God.
