You know, I walk through this big giant, scary mecca everyday. And I am always taken by the young people I see, and the looks on their faces– so innocent and pure. And depth of their eyes tell the story of a hunger for acceptance, “stardom” and a yearning desire for that “big break”. They come from everywhere. And they are so wide-eyed, searching for purpose. Gosh, was I this way, when I first moved here, 18 years ago? I remember all I had was a pair of Stephon Marbury $8 sneakers, two shirts and a couple pair of jeans. I wasn’t a teen, but I was a vagabond who had lost my way. But then, “God”. Lord, I wish I could take each and every one of these young people and give them a boost; a start in…”whatever”. I do my share of help and support, but I wish I could guide them all. There’s a scripture which says it all though: I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me. To them, (and everybody else) I say, You can…and You will…but only “in Christ”. Believe in yourself, but in Christ. Unk
