Satan's U-Turn

I got there on time. I thought I was going to be stucked up in the traffic again. It was not great though because I spilled my hot chocolate on my white lace blouse while running my way to the church. Too bad, I wiped it with my hand and it got even dirtier. How much more clumsiness could I get? I even stepped on a gum while on crossing the pedestrian lane. It was like walking while somebody's unsuccessfully trying to pull my foot. Embarassing. So anyway, there I was, attending the last service mass at 5:30 in the afternoon. The message was delivered by a young lady, not a few years older than me. Choir members were all youngsters which I find it unusual because it was supposed to be led by the elders (a.k.a adult men). When the projector flashed something on the screen, I was like, "Oh I see, it's youth sunday!". How come I didn't know there's a youth sunday? I mean, sundays are for everyone. It's not supposed to be youth sunday alone and then, the next sunday will be children's sunday, and then, women's sunday or men's sunday and sundays for grandpas and grandmas. I think too much, right? They were all just my stupid philosophical ideas trying to breath out the exhaustion from the overload my brain is currently suffering.

The message was surprisingly short but it was undeniably an explosion to every young people listening. The preacher exposed the sins created from thought to action by every individual who pull their ways away from God. We fought hard to play our roles in our lives and go against the wrongdoings of population surrounding us. Some made it, but others were drawn towards the opposite direction. I thought, what is really our purpose on earth? Do we even have one? Yes, of course. Every person exists for some reasons. It might not be for ourselves alone but everything has its reasons. I keep trying to find out why do some people don't believe that the Son of God was nailed on the cross to save us from the burning sulfur we definitely deserve. Haven't we realized that when God was nailed on the cross, we were actually the ones holding the hammer? Can we even repay Him for the grace of unconditional love He has blanketed on us? We should start living the paths away from the direction beyond God's desire for us to take.

Maybe, young people nowadays need a great deal of spiritual growth. I am not saying that I have a perfect intimate relationship with God. I'm trying to say that I am so proud that I grew up from a Christian family with strong faith passed into us. With the faith I have, I suggest Satan to make his U-turn. He's on the wrong way. I really hope young people will have their hearts open up for God and let Him be the King of all Kings. And we'll be strong enough to push Satan away from our roads.

We are God's beloved. But do we deserve to be called one? I really think I should meditate on this more. :))
