Bully: Only the Beginning...

We have spent the last two weeks talking about "Bullies". There is one way to change the environment of bullies. That is to be a force for good. It is to remind everyone whose they are by speaking good words over them. But this doesn't come easily. Youth and most of us adults would agree being negative comes much easier. It is easy to complain. It feels good in fact. It is easy to call down someone with out having compassion. It is easy because it is habit.

Speaking good over someone has consequences as well. It just might make the person feel good. It just might make them feel like they are somebody. Wait a minute! Those things are true. Encouraging each other is hard because it isn't habit. But once we do it enough it becomes a habit.

So my hope would be that youth would be a force against bullying by doing their best to encourage each other.

If you want to dive deeper which I think you should. Preview the documentary on NETFLIX called Bully. And if you feel comfortable share the realities of Bullying with your youth.

On June 2nd we will have our last UMYF of the semester then transition in to our Summer schedule. God has done some great things in the lives of our youth this past year. We will look back on some of our messages and see where God has moved.

Looking Forward!
