Hey friend, how easy is it to forgive someone that you trusted/loved so much but hurt you so badly? FORGIVENESS is just an ACT OF LOVE in itself. No one ever deserves forgiveness. So, how do I forgive as God asks us to? As the society requires of me? Let the PEACE of MIND reign and FORGIVE. Let's acknowledge God, deny ourselves and try practising forgiveness.
We all want some positive energy, some healthy habits around us, don't we? Some positive influence around us. This often leaves us trying to get some people out of our “p-lanes".

What rings in your mind when “youth" is mentioned? An image of a vibrant and energetic person comes in mind, maybe? Or a “time-moves-first-have-party-or-else" image comes in mind? Whichever case. The youth in you, in us is more than we can think or imagine. So many blessings are hidden in this stage of our lives. The beautiful life planned by God is when it begins to unfold at this stage of life. You are more than just youth. You are a HUGE BLESSING to the society and the world at large. Whether you are a believer or non-believer, you are a gift from God.
Growing up in a world where we need the right and good people to be around us for us to live life to our “max" could be quite challenging. We all want the right people and the right things to be around us, don't we? But is it that simple finding the perfect one? And oh! How tiresome and difficult it is to find just the right one for us. We often end up messing up in the process, isn't it? Guess what, we no longer have to struggle too much.
We often try to walk the talk. To do what we say and believe is for our good and our society's good. We try practising self control and moral courage. However, when we are a while into our new decisions and hope for the better change, we backslide. Well, guess what, you don't have to struggle much about deciding to change. Christ is there to guide you in your decision to have Him take control of your life for the better. He is there for us all.
The generation we live in has made youthfulness a “must-have-fun-or-else” stage of life. The truth is that youthfulness is a blessing in disguise. It is the point in life to grow our God-given gifts and character while doing positive activities that will, through Christ build our lives and of those around us. Not just fun and party. It is more than just youth.
