We ended out 2023 with a bang. We had a group out of Pike County come join us for a weekend of fun and fellowship. And although there was only one deer down, there were a lot of deer seen and a good time had by all.
We ended up with a group of about 13 kids and are so thankful we get to see a lot of them returning to see us and building relationships with them. And that is what I want to talk about today. You see, there are so many faces that come through Briar Ridge. This is our eighth year of ministry and we have seen about 3,000 kids come through. We’ve seen them grow up and get married. We’ve been with some of these kids as they made the decision to follow Christ, and some of them when they were trying to see how God could use them in ministry. You see, we may not remember every face, or every weekend… but luckily we know someone who does. God himself knows the very number of hairs on all of their heads. He knows their hearts and lives. What a good, good Father He is to care so much about each one of them.
Today, I want you to know that He cares about you just the same. You see if we lined up all the kids that has come through Briar Ridge this year that’s all you would see is a bunch of kids. But Christ sees so much more. He sees His purpose and plan in each of these faces. He sees His purpose and plan in you. He wants to encourage you today that if you feel like you are just part of the crowd, He knows you are so much more than that. He cares for you, just as you are. He has a plan just for you, and He wants you to step into that plan and purpose.
I encourage you today, seek His face and ask what His plan is for you is. It doesn’t have to be something life changing, He may just tell you to share your testimony with one other person, and I promise most of the time that is what truly changes lives. Share Christ and His Love for others today, seek His face and His will for your life.
Love in Christ,
Briar Ridge
