o you ever pause and wonder whetheranybody cares? Do you ever think, Doesanybody understand what goes oninside the
real 
me? Does anyone know my deepestheartcries? Do you ever wish there was some- body you could be yourself with, and not have topretend?Do you wonder if anybody out there under-stands the confusion you feel, or just how hardlife can be sometimes? Especially when you lookahead to the future.  The future? For this gen-eration, it can be pretty scary! You feel like,Where are we heading, anyway? Seems like the worlds in the fast lane  destination unknown!Do you ever look around, and wonder whats goingto become of the world? Its frightening!Ever wonder about all this when youre alone in your bed at night? Or maybe when youre sitting inclass? Or at work? Or when youre struggling just tomake it through another day?

 When you think about those who are fighting wars,or packing a gun, do you ever wonder, What are wehere for, anyway? So many folks are caught up in thegruesome hell of war. Some fight for land, religion,some ideal, or just plain ethnic cleansing, while theinnocent find themselves left without a home, afamily, or food. Dont you ask yourself at times, Whatis the solution to all this anger and hatred?Maybe youd rather not think about it. You donthave time, or you dont have the answers, and itseems easier to just keep going, and keep putting itout of your mind. Yet deep down inside you cantquite shake the feeling of Whats wrong with thispicture, anyway? Why cant people just love eachother instead of hate?Ever feel lost sometimes? Or confused, lonely,frustrated, scared? But you cant let on to anybody. That wouldnt be cool, right? Then again, cool or notcool, you still have these moments, and you dontknow what to do about it.So you try to be happy and have a good time with your friends. But the things you think willmake you happy just dont fill that empty feelingdeep inside of you. What a drag!Do you ever imagine what its like for a guy or a girl your age who lives on the other side of the world?Lifestyles are at such extremes! Some folks are flyinghigh, racing down the information highway, surfingcyberspace; while others are sweating it out in thefields, slaving away in factories, or scrounging a life inthe cities, struggling to keep from going hungry.Do you ever have those times when you wish youcould just stop the world and get off?Do you ever wonder about the other guy? Is hehappy, or is he just the same as you? Does he or shehave the same fears and tears, thoughts and feelings

as you? Do you ask yourself whether he or she really understands you and cares about you? After all, youre all on this same planet. Youre all in it to-gether, right? Well, at least thats what you hope.Do you ever feel like the world is jam-packed withso many voices, so many people talking, talking,talking, but you cant quite figure out what theyresaying? You hear some folks say they know theanswers, but they dont seem any happier than youare. Deep down theyre just as afraid of dying as youare. So, whos to know? Is there anything that canheal the heartache you feel inside?Is there something that you can hold on to,something solid, something that can save your dyingspirit before it fades away into oblivion?The answer is yes, there is! Ive got something for you. It doesnt matter how confused you feel, or how  big a problem you have. It doesnt even matter what youve done or how bad youve been. Ive got what you need, and its free! How about that?It doesnt matter where you are, who you are, what you do, whether youre rich or poor, black, white, yellow, red or brown. If youre in need of a magic touchto soothe the pain inside, just reach out and grab ahold of Me. If youre looking for peace of mind or alittle hope in the midst of all this despair, if you need alittle loving, a helping hand, a listening ear, or somecompassion from someone who really cares, then takeMy hand. I love you and I care. You know who I am? My name is Jesus. I came tothis Earth long ago and stood up against the statusquo. I died trying to show people that there is a better way, a way of love. I died, and yet, I live on andam speaking to you today. I died for you, so that youcould be free, so that through Me you could find love,and enjoy a life of happiness in Heaven after yourlife on Earth. Wouldnt you want that?
