Our generation, the generation of millennials, are considered to be a reflection of what we want to avoid. We seek to be the change, to make a difference. We are subject to postmodernism, to falling into the "trend".
Now more than ever we need to seek out the Lord for guidance, to continue to be radically committed to HIS will and to refrain from falling into the millennial stereotype. We need to stand strong and be the light in a time of darkness, a time where our society's' vision seems to be obscured by materialism and local indoctrination. We need to think outside of the box, to think for ourselves, not to form to the mold but break the walls. We need to stand for the weak, for the quiet, for the lost, being their voice, their strength, their support.
We know that times will be tough, they won't be facile, we will be tempted and tried. Just as Jesus in the desert, he was tempted by the devil and yet he stood firm. "... Jesus answered him, "It is also written; Do not put the Lord your God to the test." (Matthew 4:7)
To be the change we want to see, we need to trust in God and allow him to lead us. To stand for our beliefs, to break the mold, beat the stereotype, be the change.
