"What does it take to KNOW God is guiding you to make life decisions, or is you doing all the talking?"

We have been talking about how to AIM high for Jesus, and stay focused.  It takes work, but nevertheless essential for daily living out God's purpose and plan for your life.  Jer. 29: 11/15

===================================================================

A very bright young lady peer-friend of mine were talking at lunch the other day.  She does mentoring at her church with women and has become frustrated at the women who are leaving their husbands and children.  She has spent hours and hours on showing them the truth in God's Word.  They listened and still believe that God is telling them to leave.  They have peace about it.  "After all, I don't feel anything for him anymore."

What is happening today?  This culture and generation have a whole different look at their lives.  They are becoming justifiers.  They want what THEY want.  They can not tolerate much pressure in life, and so they look for romance and feel good experiences.  Her frustration was born out of , God sent me these people, I told them the truth, only to see evil win out. "What's the deal?"

During personal counseling, student counseling, and my time at the colleges, I was instructed to give them the tools.  That was my only job.  Some will listen, some will not.  Accept that you did your job and move on.  My "Traditional Age Generation" understands that, but we like to FIX things.  We need to know why today's generation isn't following through on truth.  My friend is much younger, but she thinks like a traditionalist.  We work through things, we push through and do whatever it takes to get the desired result.  We would much rather drive ourselves to the hospital in whatever condition we find ourselves.   We watch with great frustration and sadness today's Millinia generation.   All those born from 1997 on came just as the internet came.  Those born prior to 1997 are the Y Generation.  They deserve it and you need to give it to them.  Millinia's question everything.  They have hundreds of options and choices.  Just google it.  I am so thankful I grew up in the 1940's.  I had two choices.  Eat it, or sit at the table until bedtime.  Go to church or be grounded from friends.  Wear this or go naked.  Not today.  Today they look at 18 different gods, someone will take them wherever to eat because they sure aren't going to eat "that".  I am not going to that school anymore,  we have to move, Mom.  And, guess what?  They move.

And, so you see the problem.  What do we do?  What are the answers to bring truth and have it accepted.  It would seem we as helpers need to find a way to understand all those options, be sympathetic, but STILL tell the truth.  They still have a choice.  It may take longer.  But here we get to aim at God with our prayer.  "Holy Father God, I have tried everything, please favor me with saving my grandchildren from all these choices and to find you.  Save them.  Thank you Jesus!"

Steps to the Truth's that never change.

1.  You have asked Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior.
2.  You are now embracing ALL of His Word.  It is the inerrant Word of God.
3.  Learning that He made you and KNOWS you!  Ps:  139 (Read all of it)  Particularly Psalm 139: 16.  "Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your
