Summary

Summary๐Ÿ† I thought winning the state soccer championship would bring me lasting happiness. My brother and I led the team to victory, but afterward, I felt empty inside. That summer, I lost my friend Blake, and it shook me deeply. When I went to Young Lifeโ€™s camp in Colorado, I experienced Godโ€™s love for the first timeโ€”under the stars, I knew Jesus was my Savior. That moment changed everything ๐ŸŒŒ. I returned home filled with joy and told everyone. I even brought others to experience that same hope, including my brother. Now, I live seeing Godโ€™s love through others and reflecting it myself ๐Ÿ’ซ. God's presence is greater than any worldly success ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ.


What happens when we we work hard for something we want- something we think will make us happy, only to find that we still feel empty after we earn it? AJโ€™s high school soccer team had won the state championship, and AJ felt temporarily satisfied, but still unfulfilled. After losing a friend during the following summer, AJ decided to attend Young Lifeโ€™s summer camp. While at camp, AJ experienced Godโ€™s love for the first time and began a journey of understanding that what God offers is so much greater than any temporary feeling of success we can find in our accomplishments.
