What is the most important think in your life? No really think for a minute and answer. What is the most important thing in your life?
It is my prayer that it would be your relationship with God. Please note that I didn’t write just God, but rather the relationship that you have with God. When I was a kid I thought a lot about God, and in seminary we studied a lot about God. Learning and thinking about God is very different that nurturing a relationship with God.
As a youth worker (and as a parent for that matter) we need to know what comes first. As someone active in student ministries you need to be sure that you are Loving God and liking the kids that God has entrusted into your care.
What are you doing to make God number one in your life? How are you working to see God in all that you do? Where is God calling you to reevaluate your priorities?
We can nurture our relationships with God through prayer, scripture reading, serving the poor and being willing to open ourselves up to our young people and journey with one another on the adventure of faith.
