Simplicity of the lake.

There is something peaceful about it. Saranac Village, a Young Life camp located in the Adirondacks mountaints in Northern New York. I was chilling at the lake on the very last day and looking back at the month.. a tear came out. The best month in my life.

I felt God's presence every single day. Every minute. I was in perfect harmony with the one who created me. With my best friend, my teacher. I was sharing all my thoughts and feelings. He showed me so much, and my mind moved to a different level..

During the month, we had two goals:

1) Become more like Jesus..

2) Create heaven on earth..

and we had two ways of doing it:

1) Love God..

2) Love others..

Recently I realized, how hard is to forgive. Even life changing situations which I thought I had gotten over. But is it a real forgiveness? .. God forgives us like no one.. His forgiveness is unconditional.. However, God has certain expectations on us, in order to forgive.. Being a Christian is not easy.. It requires some major decisions that might not fit into today's materialistic lifestyle.. We often question moral issues, but what is the right answer? .. In our society things are moving fast and it's hard to catch up and not be "out".. We all know that.

Our generation should think about each of our actions and each of our words.. and what impact could we make on the society. We should stop doing things that are wrong.. we have to do things that are right and practice it.. And if we do it on the regular bases, we will find God. I found God.. I saw him everyday at Saranac.

I am still a part of a generation that cares.
