Genuine love is pretty hard to show. I'm sure most of us will agree on that, and though we endeavor to express this form of love to all, especially as Christians, being judgemental and condescending is part and parcel of our human nature. Both of which Christians are warned to be careful of. Sad to say genuine love is something I lack, and struggle with, which I'm sure many of us do as well. Even if it just involves passing a casual remark, or a fleeting thought that crosses our minds.
Gossip, slander, truth, the world has shaded it all.
Parents fear the teenage years of a child because of the influences that are out in the world, and the curiosity that harbours in the hearts of youths. But I feel that the greatest fear parents should have is when their child enters university, or tertiary education for that matter. A place where ideas flow like the falls of Niagara, and young adults feel the taste of power from unions. Was it a man who started a revolution or an idea? Was it the beggar on the street who decided one day to play God, or the PhD graduate from genetics?
Melbourne University has a banner hanging over one of its many arches which says " The Evolution begins here."And has a motto of "Dream Large." How true an evolution begins, and it all starts with a dream.
