Something Special

by Josie Tomsik

Happiness is brought from experiences, sadness is also brought from experiences. What some don’t realize is that it’s possible for our experiences to bring happiness and sorrow. The IHS youth group are unbelievably close to each other, what i mean by that is that we aren’t “just friends”, i have never loved anyone more than my people of God. If your appalled that I just said i love someone more than my savior, you’re wrong. Jesus lives  in every one of us and i have been shown that this week. When a child like  myself opens their heart and accepts God, they see clearly for the first time. Suddenly things are right. Finally something is worth living for. There is an unbelievable difference between having God in your life, and being part of God’s life. You will ALWAYS be part of his, so why shouldn’t he be part of yours? People say, “Give Jesus the last part of your day by praying before bed.” Yes! you should pray before bed, but the LAST part of your day? Honest, you can do better than that. You are what Jesus spent his whole life saving  and all we give back is the last part of a day?  Think back to when you first noticed God in your life, you felt alive, right? You knew that someone was going to forgive you for lying, stealing, murdering. (okay, maybe you haven’t killed someone.) But God was there for you then and I promise he is still there for you now. I challenge you, look up Bob Lenz. Look up Greg Steir. I’m not just speaking to non believers or those struggling in their faith. I challenge every person who puts their eyes on my writing to look up those men. They will change your life forever.
