However, after the first economic setback, after the first time you get fired, after the first betrayal by a close friend, or the first time you get sick and watch your savings go out the door--you come to realize that, perhaps, life is better lived with the God of the Bible, rather than without Him.
After all, the time will come, future common men and women, when you will have to trust in someone bigger than yourself. The one who can make a way out of no way.
The one who can give you peace in the midst of a storm. The one who can send you to the right job, or to the right spouse, or bless you with contentment when others are going to pieces about you.
At the risk of sounding PC incorrect, and offending the ACLU, you will have to determine where God, through Jesus Christ, will head up your life.
I know that there are those who 'think' that they know more than God, but when we had nothing, were held in Slavery, and were forbidden to read and write, God sent his Word and Spirit to all whom wanted to partake.
I've partaken, and haven't looked back!
Now, go out there and be the best you can be. Society needs you now, more than ever.
Many of you will find more success as a 'Daddy' or a 'Mommy' rather than running a multi-million dollar corporation. For, when all
is said and done, it's not the number of trophies on your wall that will determine how you lived your life.
It will be the number of friends, the number of grudges buried, the number of people whom you helped that will determine your worth as an adult.
These are the realities and joys of being common. God bless you and your efforts as you find His place for you, in what some have called a cold world, but a world--nonetheless--full of opportunities.
