Warren Buffet Has Got It Right

The dude is smart; clearly smart. He is beyond rich, and has made more money than I ever will in my life.  Coming from one of the most successful people in the history of this country, Yahoo® asked him, “what is your best advice?” His answer:  ”Unconditional love.”

“The power of unconditional love. I mean, there is no power on earth like unconditional love. And I think that if you offered that to your child, I mean you’re 90 percent of the way home.”

If that’s not a God-inspired statement, I don’t know what is. I’ve been in ministry for about 10 years now, and I’ve learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t with teenagers. I know it’s easy to get discouraged because of poor choices teens make sometimes.

The single most important thing they need? Love. God showed me this simple truth Himself:  He never gives up on me, and so I must never give up on students.  I have received limitless grace from my father in heaven, and so I am obligated to pass that on to my teens at church.

John 13:34 – 34“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
