Heyday

I just found out yesterday that I am going to be doing a talk during the upcoming Boys Camp and suddenly I got goose bumps... 'talking in-front of young guys telling them about God. Then my mind took a journey back and I started to think of my early days as a teenager.. How I was the black sheep in everything I did... I loved music from the 80's didn't have much of a fashion sense and people didn't get my jokes. I then turned to trying to be a very responsible person, whether in my personal or my academic life. Now I am asked to speak to young guys when I never could relate to them when I was their age.. would I be funny  enough?.. would I be relevant?.... All these questions flooded my mind. Then I thought these questions must flood our minds a lot... whether we are speaking to young people or telling unsaved friends about Christ. We look to our own charm, humor or intellect to convey our message when we should be looking to the "Author and Perfecter...." to see us through. To look to the creator of the greatest orators and comedians.. the greatest comedian of all 'God'. Lets take time out to soak in His perfect love and guidance and power...
