jacob generation arise

Posted on Thursday 20 January 2005 by Joshua

I read this on my friend Kelly’s xanga… it speaks about the generation of young people who are waiting for something… searching for something … and I believe Jesus was speaking of them when He said that greater works they will do than I have done.

I’m not just sitting here. Doing Nothing.
I’m waiting. Waiting for something worth doing.
I’m not self-absorbed. I’m introspective.
I’m paying attention. I’m watching.
Listening. Waiting for something meaningful.
I’m not lazy and I’m not unmotivated.
Demotivated, maybe. Underchallenged, certainly.
Sorry, but i’m just underwhelmed by shallow dreams.
Unimpressed by meaningless ambition,
colorless relationships,
broken promises.
Slacker?! Yeah, right.
Show me one ideal worth dying for.
Let me glimpse one thing worth living for.
Do that and the wait is over.
Ask me a big enough question and I’ll answer with my life.
—and I’ll live for the only One worth living for.
I’ll answer with my life, with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.
�Jim Hancock

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all you mind and with all your strength. � Mark 12:30

    You sent me the “Jacob Generation” CD, It was amazing and yeah you’re right, young people are just waiting and searching for something that’s not shallow.

    Hey Josh,
    How come you can’t post on older postings, just this one and previous.

    AMEN and ARISE! I am so excited about this Jacob Generation. I can think of Cody and Autom and just cry I am so blessed by their desire to serve God. And they are only 6 and 3.
