Here we are into the month of May. Easter has passed by and we are moving into the family season. Bright outdoor playground weather, baseball, Mother’s Day and graduation. It is with a renewed spirit we take on the fun times ahead. Children are happy to be playing baseball with parents, grandparents cheering them on. Children are so excited to present their mom’s with that special item to show their undying love for them. We will all gather in our high school to witness our young adults make a major step into a completely new world as they graduate.
All of these events are exciting, some are frightening, but all are a part of what we must do to grow into the leaders of tomorrow. Jesus may have faced the same challenges in his time, possibly not in the same way as we do today; but he still faced the unknown. We as the new generation can look back to the Bible and take comfort in the words spoken by Jesus; John 8:12 “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”
In all the events of your life whether it be little league, on up to graduation, always know that the Light of the world is beside you all the way. Out of the believer’s heart will flow the rivers of living water. Have faith and face your challenges head on, knowing you have a very large support group on earth and in Heaven.
