Way Back

I think every kid is used to being told something along the lines of, "I know you don't understand."

One gets tired of hearing it.

Which is why I assume most kids are in a hurry to grow up.

Most kids get how you mean it, but it still hurts a little because it means we can't help or understand.

Helpless.

That is how it feels.

Work all day.

When all we can do to help is what we are doing.

While continuing to feel helpless.

Many teens will go on the search for friends who FEEL the same way and they party.

They do it to get there mind off the adult world that SEEMS to want them very little or too much.

(When in all reality most parents do love and want their children the right amount.)

They party and do "adult stuff" to FEEL wanted.

It makes sense. Yes?

Feelings. We all want to feel good. 

The devil can easily manipulate your feelings... when allowed.

The point isn't that I agree.

It is that I get it.

I get the temptation.

That LACK of self-confidence, motive, and will to do better.

You don't have anything else to wake up to, but wanting something that will make you FEEL good.

That is what SIN supplies the EMPTY feel good feeling.

Admit it... we all want it.

If you have God you learn not to want it.

To earn every good moment.

Not even earn.

God gives it to you, but it comes with hardship.

There is no perfect life. 

Don't go mess with yours in the wrong way.

Don't get yourself to the point of needing forgiveness.

Ask if you need it, but avoid getting there.

Avoid getting there again.
