The Youth of "tomorrow"
Hey guys.
It's Mystory.
Has anyone ever said to you, "the Youth are the Future of the church" ? I know someone has to me. but this is what i say: the youth are the church of TODAY. We are here RIGHT NOW. The youth of tomorrow have not been born yet.
My youth group did Youth Sunday, a sunday when the Youth run the church services, all three of them. I was a part of this, and I have to say, at some parts I nearly laughed.
The adults say to the teens, "do not let anyone treat you as though you are unimportant because you are young." I laugh at that sentance when it is spoken to teens, because teens are NOT young when they are teens. I am a sixth grader. No one cares about what i have to say, because i am twelve years old. They will listen to a teen's ideas and appreciate them, but if I give a suggestion, they smile the "adult to kindergartener" smile and fake that they like it. Jesus christ gave this world preteens so that we could be brought up as belivers and help the christian community. How can i do that if no one will listen to me, becase I am twelve?
My youth group is Mostley 8th grade and above. So how are the sixth graders treated?
I am shunned, not listend to, and ignored, treated unimportantly, becuase i am a sixth grader. Only about three high schoolers have even attempted to make me feel welcome, and i am definitly grateful for that. I am not putting all high schoolers in one big group. There are many different high schoolers, some care, some dont, some want to help, some want to harm, and it goes on.
I am a Youth of Today. Why can't anyone hear my cry for help then?
Jesus is rated E for everyone!
