You can look into a students eyes and see he doesn't get it. I remember having people speak to me and the glazed look I must have given them when I wasn't receiving what they were saying with the required mental aptitude. I had this experience recently with a student trying to explain some of the challenges that were going to be headed his way as a result of not following Jesus aka Sin.
It can be hard to offer all sorts of help to someone who isn't aware they need it. Often in our lives we have the prideful attitude, with a dose of ignorance, that "I've got this'. Confidence can be a great thing. as C.S. Lewis said "Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn." We can warn someone of impending brutality, but sometimes it just might be what they need. I have noticed in my life there have been lessons I have learned and they have been utterly brutal.
Sin in any form is a worm that transforms over time into a snake and then into a dragon. I have seen the damage in my life from misguided priorities and lack of focus on God. I pray for the students that I have had recent conversations with. I am reminded to be more bold. I am reminded of where I need to follow Jesus better and where I need to listen.
For those of you that support this ministry. Thank you. You help preach the Love of Jesus to rescue from sin and stupid decisions. Pray for these students to hear the plea and accept the Good News.
