“If I acted crazy, I did it for God; if I acted overly serious, I did it for you. Christ’s love has moved me to such extremes. His love has the first and last word in everything we do.” 1 Corinthians 5, The Message
These verse have been stuck in my head the last few weeks at Young Life Club. As much as I look forward to and love club and seeing all my high school friends, there are days when I need to be reminded why I’m investing so much time and energy into this endeavor. The simple answer: Christ’s love.
This weekend, I get to go with somewhere between 10 and 30 high school students to Windy Gap on a weekend retreat. I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with the friends I already know and looking forward to getting to know some new friends. Most of all, I’m excited that I get to take a weekend away and share Christ’s love with my friends. Whether I act crazy or overly serious, Christ’s love has the first and last word in everything I do. I pray that this is true.
