Kite, that's amazing! The term for such ''love and adoration'' is called being humble, but if you look up humble it leads you to the word humility...which means a freedom from arrogance that grows out of the recognition that all we have and are comes from God. Also, another word for how they are is called reverance...having reverance for God to be more specific, which means:a feeling of profound awe and respect.Because of His majesty and holiness, God arouses a feeling of reverace in those who worship and serve Him.(Hebrews 12:28-29). It's amazing isn't it?! Also, those are true Christians, and the youth have much more ''flame in the fire'' so to speak. We can't limit God! They still have a pure heart, as they're not out in the real world as adults are, but, they do have a harder life than when we were all teens ourselves.
As for what Cup-Of-Ruin said to you, granted the world is worse than ever, there's true God-fearing and God-loving Christians out there today. As I said before, we can't limit God. Who are we to judge and say that those people are fake? They might be, but they might not be. Odds are, they're real, you can't fake a passion, love, desire, seeking God's face, etc. etc.! When the Holy Spirit gets into the heart, works, and has a hold on someone, they can't fake it they just can't! While I give him credit for what he said on parts, other parts I disagree with, and here's the reason for that. NOW IS the time to celebrate, God's going to and is using the younger generation(s) to wake up the world. To move in ways never seen and known to man before. Remember, Jesus said ''let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the belivers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity'' 2 Timothy 4:12. Also, back in Jeremiah 1:6-8 it says ''Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold I cannot speak; for I am a child. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I ommand thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with theee to deliver thee, saith the LORD''. Matthew 28:20 says ''Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.'' Jesus spoke those words.
There's many in the Bible, that God used in mighty ways and they were just youth! For they haven't seen and lived a life that we have just yet, but eventually they will as the mature even more. I have a very high level of respect for children and teens, even young adults(I myself fall into this catagory) because they/we have NEVER faced such persecution as there is today, and it will only get worse before it gets better.I myself love to feel and be on fire for God, to sing, to shout, to worship, to praise, to honor, and to glorify HIM! Lastly, I just want to say this. Yesthe heart CAN be decitful, BUT if we have our heart focused on God, then it can't be, or it won't be as bad. Remember Jesus said ''Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and ruse doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break throuth, nor steal:For where your treasure is there your heart be also.'' Matthew 6:17-21.
We need to, (and I do) pray that God just remove any and all things that are ungoldy, unrighteous, and not of His will and desire for me, and replace it all with what IS Godly, righteous,of Him, and His will for me. To help me keep my eyes, heart, soul, spirit, and every single part of my being focused on Him and not the world, the things/people in it! Peace and much love to all, God bless! Keep your chin up, don't let others bring you down! (others in general, no one specific, for the record).
