Does anyone really care? Bro. Hyles said often if every young person knew that just one person cared about him or her that young person could make it in life. I am concerned about the young people but more and more I am concerned about the older people, the examples, the leaders\u2014the words that come out of our mouths to the young people. I recently attempted to convey to a group of ladies that someone is watching each one of them all the time. I\u2019d like to carry that a bit further\u2014every one of us is being LISTENED TO by someone almost all the time. Obviously when we\u2019re alone, only Jesus can hear us, but anyone within hearing distance is listening to what is coming out of our mouths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>I\u2019m reminded of one of the many life-changing statements made by Mrs. Marlene Evans \u2013 \u201cI see gold glittering.\u201d She looked for the gold in everyone. Now, I admit, some people\u2019s gold is a very deeply buried treasure, but it\u2019s down there! Most of our death-giving words could be replaced by life-giving words if we would just take our \u201cshut-up\u201d times and look for the gold, then express that. You would be delightfully shocked at the gold you discover in people when you look for it. Then, as those young followers hear what you think of them, they began to blossom and grow. The opposite result takes effect when death-giving words are given\u2014the young followers withdraw more, and shrink, so to speak, with no inspiration to improve. Imagine right now the young person in your classroom, your home, your church, your youth group, your college, even for our peers\u2014they wonder many times a day, \u201cWhat do YOU think about me?\u201d I believe it\u2019s time we tell them! Give life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/yplife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/zana-Reichen.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2011\" width=\"158\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yplife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/zana-Reichen.jpg 750w, https:\/\/yplife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/zana-Reichen-234x300.jpg 234w, https:\/\/yplife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/zana-Reichen-600x768.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 158px) 100vw, 158px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Zana Reichen<br>Teacher and Secretary at Commonwealth Baptist College<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proverbs 18:21\u00a0\u201cDeath and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. \u201dThis question is asked silently many times a day.
