There's a change coming. More and more people are standing up for their one true King. Old values combine with new energy. The morals standards maybe have changed, society has evolved and yet one cause remains...
Can you hear the transformation? The winds of changes are blowing our way. A generation is looking for a purpose in life, a higher purpose than mere living. There is a generation that refuses to let society dictates their lives. As such, they are looking for a purpose, a passion to ignite the fire, to fill the hole they find within them. A cause that will anchor their life, something to live their entire life for. A voice is rising up that begs the question: what on earth are we living for?
Can you see the transformation? Gone are the days of traditional degrees and traditional paths to success. Time again, conventional methods have been proven wrong by mere individuals. Sportsmen and sportswomen no longer come through expected channels. Universities are offering every kind of degree under the sun. The students of today are given a thousand and one choices after secondary education. Idols of today are no longer the model of perfection.
Can you taste the transformation? Asian cuisine can be found everywhere in the Western world. Authentic Italian cuisine is now available worldwide. A burger is no longer just a burger. Even to get a simple meal, we are open to a hundred and one choices. Supermarkets stock almost every kind of frozen food. There is nearly no meal that a microwave cannot prepare.
Can you smell the transformation? Smell and sights that used to be uniquely in one location are now available at a location near you. Themeparks constantly upgrade to give visitors an experience of the whole world in one location. Couch potatoes can now tune into shows showcasing the cultures and lifestyles all around the world. The Internet connects us to all the interesting places we could never hope to visit in a lifetime. We can now 'visit' the world and see all the sights it has to offered with just a click of a button.
Can you feel the transformation? There is a rumbling within the earth, it recognizes the change in times. Disasters broadcasted throughout the world bring together humanity to help those in need. The fragility of human life has made many wonder about a life after death. The horror and dangers of day to day living has made us sit up and realise: we could die today. And for many, in the pursuit of happiness, fame and fortune, we have forgotten the things that are really important. But now, many are turning back to a life centred on family and the pursuit of what really makes us alive.
There is a revolution sweeping the nations. Leaders and idols are recognized for who they really are: mere mortals who live, eat, sleep just like us. Society's many levels are being broken down as more and more recognize how we are all equal. In a world where all our needs can and are fulfilled, a new generation is rising up, searching for a true purpose to life. The youth of today seek to make a mark in the world or to find true peace and happiness in life. They seek to commit their life to a cause that satisfy the soul and changes the world.
Personally, I have found that in Jesus Christ. He has given me peace over my past and peace during the storms in my life. He has put goals and dreams in me, purposes that will impact the world. And best of all, He has given me His assurance that He will be with me through it all, never letting me go and being my protector through it all.
Psalm 118:6 says, "The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
