Yesterday I gathered with the youth group of the church I attend, along with the pastor and his wife, and we had youth service. We had such a wonderful time, first we had our lesson on "Transformation" we talked about how the Lord transformed men like Moses and Paul into great men of God, and how God wants to transform us as well. Afterward, we went outside and played basketball, and volleyball, we had such a great turn out. We had just a handful of kids and teens there, but we still had fun. We ate our scrumptious Italian sub sandwiches and had more fellowship. Not long after we ate, we were back outside in the humidity playing basketball, we had a game going on for the rest of the night. I couldn't help but think about the unity I felt there last night between everyone. There was a smile on every face, and laughter everywhere. That's how things should be, everyone should be able to gather together in Jesus name, and have unity and genuine love for one another. There shouldn't be any division. The enemy would love for us to fight and be terrible to one another, but God has greater plans for us. He wants us to be unified together for the work of the kingdom of heaven. If you feel like you and your friends or youth group aren't unified, be the change and make the difference, pray that God would use you to bring people together and have fun together and worship the Lord Jesus together. So fill in that great divide with love, happiness, and fellowship. That's how souls will be reached. Be the change. :-)

Gods word, unity and fun!
