Leader, party like there is no tmr, beautifully made, restoration

 A leader is someone who inspires, encourages and motivates others to be their best, to never give up and to never settle. A leader is someone who fights for justice on the behalf of those who can not stand up for themselves. As a leader, people you don’t even know are watching you. When someone provokes you with a hateful comment, you may want to lash back and make them wish they’d kept that comment to themselves. But the word says, “Control your temper, for anger labels you a fool.” Ecclesiastes 7:9. 

Lyrics like these are played everywhere and it creates a desensitization to the message. The message that says, “I will leave my reputation and conscience at the door and do things as if the consequences are irrelevant since tonight is the last night.” In addition to music lyrics, we are surrounded by magazine covers of teen moms and the downward spiral from drug use, crazy parties and arrests of young stars we admire. It somehow seems cool to go off the deep end or party the night away when it’s glorified in the media, especially when we don’t usually see the consequences that come from celebrity behavior.

You are too good, too fearfully made to waste your life away on a night getting wasted. 

God can always redeem and restore any mistake we make or any injustice that has been done to us. He can always take our mess and turn it into a message. But he has also given us a handbook of wisdom from which to refer so we don’t have to go through self-induced sufferings.
