Never Lose Sight

running after God in youth ministryAfter reading a few chapters in Colossians, I felt encouraged to write this simple encouragement.

Remember the enormous grace that God has so freely given us. We stand today as ministers to youth and children of God because of His endless love for us.

He has given us everything: life, food, even the air we breath, and purpose to live for. And He continues to freely give to us and love us, not to make us rich or comfortable, but because His love for us is so deep.

Remember today that we were first called to know and love the Lord. As we strive to make Him known in the lives of students and through our youth groups, let it not be at the expense of our relationship with Him. That is our greatest treasure and most wonderful adventure.

Lord, please help us to never lose sight of You.
