好久好久没有写文章了，我想，是时候写一些东西了吧？
最近我在想一个问题，我们生活在教会里头，只要你是年轻人那你就会遇见很多的贵人，这些贵人会告诉你你应该这样、应该那样；不应该这样、不应该那样。
你的成长，就是生活在“应该和不应该”的指导下。
青少年人的成长阶段会面对许许多多的疑惑，有贵人的指引当然是件好得无比的事。但是深入的想想，却又不是那么一回事，会不会在贵人的保护和指引之下成长的人会成了温室里的草莓？一遇到暴晒就腐烂或不了了？
曾经我很在乎他人怎样看待我，所以长者所说的我都尽可能去听、尽可能去活在他们想要我活出的让他们开心也让他们觉得我是个可造之材，但，从少年步入青年的我，看见了许许多多的事情，也亲身经历了各种各样的情绪。
我看见了一个我觉得我应该去听得指导，不单是人的声音，我的意思是，不是盲目的去听从，而是你应该问，如果这个时候你看见这件事情，你是耶稣的话，你觉得祂会怎么做？
抱歉得说一句，我不愿意盲目的跟从人，只要想想，如果耶稣在你旁边，祂会要你怎么做？青少年，是一群最能够从跌倒中爬起的人，在这个阶段所经历的每一个挫折对将来都有很大的帮助，如果你永远没有犯过错，你就永远不能体会耶稣基督那股赦免的爱。
我不是在怂恿青少年尽情去放纵自己的情欲、为所欲为，而是，凡事都可听，但不全都是对，重要的是，耶稣如果在你旁边的话，祂会要你怎么做？
祂造你，是何等的独特，我们有思想，就要善用自己的思想；有情感，就要表达；有感动，就要去行。
别让别人的眼光拦阻你去爱需要爱的人、别让那没生命没思想的规矩拦阻你这个有思想有生命的人去活出耶稣基督要你活出的生命。
爱人，需要勇气、需要牺牲，就算没有人认同你的做法，你都要勇敢的爱，因为你永远不会立时晓得你现在所付出、所牺牲的爱会对这个需要爱的人带来怎么样的祝福。
这份爱，是耶稣放在你心中要你传出去的爱，青少年，勇敢起来，爱神也当爱人...
I haven’t written anything here in a while. And now I guess it’s time to put up something new!
I’ve been pondering upon something lately. As youths growing up in church, they encounter a lot of noble people who often advice them what they should do and what they shouldn’t. They live a life so full of should and shouldn’t. It is undoubtedly a good thing to have advices from noble people, as the youths are facing countless doubts and confusions as they are growing up. But, think again, there lies the risk of becoming like strawberries in the greenhouse, that are defenseless and vulnerable to any attack or pressure.
I used to care a lot of how people look at me. And that I tended to listen to whatever elder people have to say and even lead the life they want me to, in order to please them or make them see that I am a rough diamond! However, things started to change as I was entering young adulthood and experiencing, witnessing a lot of things myself. I came to the realization that I shouldn’t only listen to men’s voice blindly. Moreover, ask myself what would Jesus do if it was Him?
Young people are able to get up from a fall easily. Whatever obstacles and difficulties faced in the period of young adulthood are a great help to become a better and stronger person in the future. Remember that unless we have done wrong, we can never experience Jesus’ merciful love.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not here to persuade young people to indulge their desires. Yes, we should listen to people’s advices, but not every piece is reasonable. The point is, again, what would Jesus do?
God has made us unique enough to have our own ways of thinking and feeling. Let us use what is given by God wisely. Don’t ever allow men’s static view or those dead rules stop you from loving people who are in need and living the life Jesus Christ wants you to.
Sometimes it takes guts to love. Go forward and love, even though nobody can understand or agree with you, for you may not know what blessings will be brought by your love at once.
Love is the gift given by God and is meant to be shared and spread out. Be bold, young men, love God and at the same time, love one another.
