Ephesians 1:18-19 expresses a prayer that the eyes of our understanding might be enlightened, this means that we as Christian youth would have deeper insight which would build in us confidence that he calls us, and have ordained the glorious wealth we as God’s people will inherit.
The opposite of Insight is avoiding a painful truth. Insight in itself is hard because the urge to blame others for your troubles, instead of looking honestly at your own role is powerful. Take a look at Adam and Eve, in Genesis 3, they lived in paradise in the garden of Eden in the full presence of their marker. God orders them not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil howbeit every other trees. She, Eve had a knowledge of the command but was the initial breaker of the command, Adam also disobeys God’s command, but both of them lacked the insight to take responsibility for their actions.
Insight helps you see things as they really are and not as you want them to be, opening your eyes to real situations. Many youths and teens have struggled with difficult truths about themselves, families, communities. While it is often easier to deny and ignore what you do not like about yourselves and your lives than to face the problems squarely, it is however advisable to take the responsibility for yourself, it takes truth and courage to take this path, but it is necessary to be the God kind of person we really want to be.
