I’d like to say a few words about these two young men. Some words that I would use, to describe you…
Humble- Pirate, allows me to call him youki
Sea cucumber, Self made dragon costume
Talented- WB, playing pots in the Cevennes, Playing characters that range from soft hearted thugs to Oinky and Zoinkey. I won’t go on to describe their performaces but they took down the house.
Creative- Youkang can
Loving- Seem to care for all the people around them.
This week marks a great change in your lives. You move from a place in life where the majority of the important decisions in your life are made for you to a place in life where you are expected to make these big decisions yourself. What will you do with it new freedom? You will invariably try to pursue your idea of success.
How will you judge if you are living a full life?
Will you judge your life on the world’s standards of success? A job that is better. A home that is bigger. A personality that is dominant. Influence over the masses. Who has met the world’s standards? Who has done all that men want? Who is not a failure in some ways in the world’s eyes?
No, by the world’s standards are unattainable. We can’t all dominate. We can’t all be the ones who are at the top.
So what is success?
I will share a story with about a man.
He has no home. In a dark night the man walks down a winding path in the moonlight. He walks urgently to find a friend to help this friend in his time of trouble. The man has friends. But he knows that they are fickle and they will not stand by him if hard times come. They are all fair weather friends.
He is not impressive in his looks. He is not particularly handsome, not particularly tall, he has not outstanding features. His hands are rough from years of physical labor. He has never worked in an office, never managed anyone, never held a political office.
He thinks of the future and wonders what will become. Will he live a long life? Will he be loved by people? But he knows the answer to both is no. He knows he will not live a long life. He knows that many people hate him. His family doesn’t understand him. They want him to come back to live with his Mom and stop wandering around talking to people and partying. They don’t understand that he does not want work in the same field as step-dad. He has a different passion, a different passion. People looked down on him because he did not hang out with the right people. He hung out with the type of people most people would consider losers. They were not successful. They had criminal records. They had bad reputation. But these are the ones he chose to spend most of his time with. No one understood why. Maybe he sees something different in them.
On the path a beautiful woman joins him. She whispers something in his ear and they laugh about it. They are not dating. He has never dated anyone. He is a virgin. He knows that the culture requires someone of his age to be married. They wonder why he does not take this woman or some other as his wife. They obviously love each other. But he does not see her in that way. He loves her with a different kind of love.
He is dressed in the only outfits he owns. He does not have enough money to own more than this. Some of his peers are very sharply dressed. They always are in style. This is very important to them. They wonder why he doesn’t care about the way he is dressed. Will he ever get with it? Why doesn’t he buy something else?
On the way he sees a soldier. The soldier is a very important man. He is the commander of many regiments and comes to speak with the man. The man has never served in the military, never held a weapon, has never chosen violence as a way to influence anyone, holds no political office. All the politicians he has met with thought he was crazy. They did not want to hear from him. He had no influence on politics. Yet this commander of many comes to him along the roadside. He seems to want something from the man. They speak a few words with each other and then go their separate ways. The commander runs away quickly in the direction that he came from. He seems to have a smile on his face and a wild look in his eyes.
As the sun moves up in the sky and the day becomes warmer a man rolls quickly up in his fresh new expensive wheels. He is the son of a millionaire and acts like it. He has gotten used to being in style. Everyone respects this powerful young entrepreneur. They respect and fear him. Why he is speaking with this man is a mystery to many. The man has no means of income, owns nothing, has no business, and does not control large amounts of money. He has no car, no cell phone, and most importantly no university degrees. Perhaps this young millionaire is mistaken with whom this man is. But no, he seems to be intent to speak with this man. The rich man enters the dialogue full of self-confidence and assurance. Only a few minutes later the young man, head down, pensively walks back towards his ride. He seems to be contemplating something of great importance and then suddenly shakes his head, dusts off his feet and rides away. The man remains behind. You notice out of the corner of your eye that he is weeping as he watches the young man leave. But the strangest thing is that he does not seem to be saddened for himself by the loss of this potentially powerful friend but instead he seems to be weeping for the rich young man and the loss that he has suffered.
Many people think he is radical but he knows the truth. He knows that everything he does is a copy of someone else. He quotes things all the time. Not Simpsons quotes or things from movies but people wonder if he has been reading too much. Why does he spend so much time memorizing quotes?
He is not independent. In fact, he can’t do a single thing by himself. Culture says that we should not depend on anyone but daily the man depends on others. In fact he knows that he cannot do a single thing useful on his own. He has come to terms with this. Independence is not the way he aims to be. But who, he thinks, will respect someone who is co-dependent like me?
The man is getting hungry. Fortunately he is close to the home of a friend. He sits and talks while his friend runs around frantically to prepare the meal. Does she want some help in the kitchen? The man is not known for being a good cook. He would prefer to sit and talk. He takes his time to enjoy other people’s company. This ticks other people off. His friend who is working away in the kitchen expresses her displeasure. His friend is yelled at for not helping out enough. He wonders if the anger is also aimed at him.
He walks along and people wander in and out of the path he is on. Some people remain for a time some for longer. But only a select few will remain with him for life.
He thinks about his future. There is a warrant out for his arrest. He knows he will soon be brought in. What has he achieved in life?
Is his life a success?
You have been observing this man for some time as you walk down this path but now he comes to you. As he draws closer to you and you take steps toward him you are now close enough to him to be able to look into his eyes. But looking into the depths of them you can see that there is something different about him. Everything about him exuded a deep sense of love, hope, and joy.
Suddenly there is a choice you need to make. How will you respond to this man? Is he a success in your eyes? Do your future dreams match the dream that he has for you? Is your idea of success the same as his?
In your encounter with him you come to realize that this is the same man who will come to measure your life by his standard of success. How will what you did measure up?
You begin to realize that He will not look at the amount of money you made. Nor the sexiness that you have exuded. He will not judge you by the degrees on your wall, the possessions that you own or the cv that you accumulated. He won’t judge you on how good of a cook you are or how well you played an instrument even how hard you tried at these things or how many people liked you?
He begins to move in a new direction and invites you to come with him. He is heading for cross and says that he will carry it for you. He seems way less concerned with success than he is deepening his relationship with you. He says that he will lay down his life to be with you. And does not measure a man by his outward appearance but by his heart.
So the question he asks you as you are preparing to take the first big steps into your future is this…
What IS success in the eyes of your maker? And how is he calling you into it?
Humble- Pirate, allows me to call him youki

memories
André Hey Adam, I take it you're the spokesman for the Hoovers so I'll post this on your wall :) I just wanted to say it has been simply amazing getting to know you and Tasha. I realize now that such a huge number of my best memories were spent at camp or at youth group. I think the only word I can say to describe the two of... you is "amazing". As you said Adam, I will keep pursuing God. I am bewildered by what He has done for your lives. I really hope to see you SOON, and enjoy Philly. Thanks for everything Adamn and Tasha, you great people. I'm gonna miss you loads !
