Thrive thoughts

Here is a post on a facebook page of a NorthStar young lady who attended Thrive.....incredible - great insight for an adult but for a student.....WOW!

This weekend has made me think. Its one thing to accept God into your life and believe what the Son of God has done for us and our sins, but apart of it is to LIVE everyday and put him first. And ya know what? We usually don't. Humans are selfish people. Its a fact. We tend to think of ourselves first. But as we got through the day and complete our "To-do lists" filled with homework, ball practice, club meetings, boyfriends/girlfriends, jobs, friends ect., how do we NOT put Jesus first? How do we NOT put the Son of God on our top of our lists to listen to, worship and read His word? Its crazy. Our world is a crazy world. And Jesus knows this. But He has given us EVERYTHING in this crazy world. Salvation, love, forgiveness, care, protection, and most of all.... life. Everyday I do what I need to do, get what I need to get done, and then at the very end of the day, right before I go to sleep I read my Bible and pray. Why put Him last? He put His Son first. Jesus was put on the cross to die for everyone in the world. For their sins, sufferings, pain. Jesus paid it all. We should wake up each day and say "Wow. Thank You Lord. Another day here in the world, with You. Thank You." We should put him first on our "To-do lists". He put us on His. Its time to say Yes to what the Lord wants us to do. He has plans for us. People, lets ALL wake up together and show this world how much His people love Him. Lets show the world exactly why we put Jesus first everyday. Lets show this crazy world the peace we could have if everyone shines from God's glory. Lets make it happen. Lets make Jesus on the top of our lists. I love all of you so much, and I want to thank Brad, Nick and Mike expecially for making me wake up and say "Yes!" Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. Isaiah 26:8 Lets make Him the desire of our hearts. Spread the Word. Love Him, Live Him Praise Him.
