October 1, 2010 His eyes always look lovingly at me. © 2000 Jeannie Campbell Isn't this the kind of guy we all hold/held out hope for? I know that was true for me when I had my heart broken for the first time and wrote this poem soon afterward. That was over 10 years ago. The poem referred not to whom I had hoped would be my next boyfriend, but to whom I knew would be my forever love: Jesus. In my work with young teen girls, the overwhelming sense I get from them with regards to intimate relationships is despair. Why? Because they have put their hope one too many times in a guy who dashed them. Giving someone your heart and having it returned to you in pieces eventually takes a toll on your ability to trust. Sharing the hope of a Lover who will never leave you grasping for air or standing alone can be the greatest way to reach young girls today. By high school, most girls have already experienced the pang of heartbreak, the disappointment of elevated expectations not being met. These girls are hungry for acceptance and love, stability and security...things human boyfriends often fall short in giving. What better way of introducing them to Heaven's Hope than sharing with them how Jesus can not only meet these expectations, but also exceed them? Start using the steps below within your circle of influence and see what conversations strike up.
