Talking to the kids in Life Management today, it really clicked that the kids who do drugs aren't stupid; they have emotions, fears, things like the "what ifs" that keep them up at night just like the rest of us. They have hopes and though they may not know exactly what they want to do as a career, they still have dreams. I don't know how they got into drugs, and I know they do some stuff that I REALLY don't want to know about, but they still need love-love from other people, love from Jesus.
The thing is, I don't want to "sell" Jesus; I mean I don't want to try to befriend with them with only the intent of introducing them to Jesus. I want to actually care about them. Listening to their conversations in class makes me wonder if I want to love them like Jesus, or if I just pity them.
There's this one, and I would love to be a light to him, but I don't exactly know how, maybe just by the things I do and the attention I give him? -Oh Lord, please give wisdom and oppurtunities to show Your love to this boy.
