Matthew 5:16 (NKJV) 16 <\/span>Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As I was sitting at\u00a0a local community swimming pool recently, I heard some young girls talking.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was trying not to pay attention to the vulgar language they were using. But hearing it caused me to think about how much things have changed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Children, teens, and young adults have grown up in a whole different world than I was used to. These times we live in are surely different.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We <\/span>don\u2019t always know what young ones are going through. And maybe it is sometimes why they carry themselves the way they do.<\/p>\n

Is it an excuse for bad behavior, and should we make light of it? absolutely not.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But being a little understanding and patient at times can do wonders.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have learned that trying to talk with people that are just not ready to hear what we have to <\/span>say is wasteful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Did the mom in me want to come out toward the youngsters and address their attitudes and their language? At first, <\/span>oh yes it did!<\/p>\n

But the more I listened, the more I realized they <\/span>didn\u2019t need a mom, dad or teacher. They needed a light in the darkness. A soft word, a smile, a happy to see you, maybe even a hug.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As<\/span> harsh as their words were, maybe that was showing me their internal pain, heartache, sorrow, etc. And maybe they needed a\u00a0gentle touch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2 Timothy 2:24 (NKJV) 24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient…<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sometimes it’s<\/span> just a really bad day for some. Will we be that vessel to let God\u2019s light shine bright and bring change to that atmosphere?<\/p>\n
