YOUTH BEHIND THE THRONE

Tomorrow's power sits on a playground and probably isn't totally aware of its destiny. Unless you are talking about somebody whose parents or teachers are encouraging them and making them believe in their own abilities.

This doesn't happen much in life from my experience. Oh it does to some, but so many times it doesn't take place.

Oh you can find plenty who will complaint and find fault in others. That never improves life. However some still feel it is the only choice.

And I can't help wonder at times how many tender young hearts had their joys shattered by some cruel words. Their flowers just wilted and never blossom because somebody told them it was a waste of time.

Such unkind words always leave their marks. And they can truly crush a person's spirit. Sadly that never helps us to rise to our potential.

What is also sad is that in God's eyes he sees the person should be. And for the redeem the ones we will become in eternity.

That would be a good thing to remember too when looking into the faces of youth. Some are will rule and reign in eternity.

You just can't always see the gold when they are flashing their horns. The scriptures share so many examples of people who were regarded as losers and outcasts by others, but not by God.

For he can see so much more deeply into soul and our hearts. He knows when we are more than something to be discarded.

Would that all could become that light of life than is capable of shining in each of us. Unfortunately, that will never be quite the reality of life.

Some will shine on this earth, with or without help. Others will fade and stay in the shadows.

However with the Lord the light is still there. It might not burn as bright as hoped on this day.

Yet, tomorrow has yet to come. And for that we can always cling to hope. Which is what I chose to do.

And especially when gazing into the eyes of some child that is bruises as I was and is hurting with nobody caring. A said aspect of life that reflects the way our hearts are not always the vases God seeks.
