What does today’s Youth Want?
Today’s youth is a generation
that feels unloved and aimless in a world where they are bombarded with sex,
money, power, drugs among many other attractive things.
The youth have inherited the
hopelessness, pain and the darkness that came with the immoral revolution and
the “me generation”. There are many questions in the youth’s minds which can
lead one to temptation and sin. Some of them are: When will I have the latest
smartphone? When will I have the latest clothes and shoes? What about the
latest vehicle in the market? And a house? The general question is, “what can I
do to be the richest and most popular person?”
Let us not follow the way of
evil. Don’t allow yourself to be used against your fellow citizens by selfish
individuals. What we have to know is that God has a plan for us on this earth
and his time is the best time. All our dreams will come true as long as we
present them to our God. So let us, especially the youth, not concentrate on
worldly things.
Let us meditate and reflect on
this, keeping in mind that Christ is calling us to follow him. “I am the light of the world; those who
follow me will have the light of life”. (Jn: 8:12)
Let us continue to pray for the
youths all over the world that where they have fallen and forgotten the
greatness of God in our lives, may they be forgiven by God, so that they may
start a new journey with him. Amen.
Odhiambo, Joseph Obunwa
