Found this image at United Methodist Young People's Ministry page...thought about writing a long piece on it but realized it could be summed up in a couple of paragraphs...not because it doesn't have a deep meaning, but because the meaning is a little different for each of us. The only common requirement is courage.

It takes courage to serve others...to put your heart on the line. It takes courage to love Jesus because He WILL call you and use you and you will NEVER be the same. It takes courage to be different...especially for young people...to not be stamped by the cookie cutter so many others are stamped with...

If I could pray but one prayer for our young people, it would be that they follow Jesus by doing these three things.
