Wholistic approach

there is a lt at the moment about health and young people in the news. It struck me tha a lot of teaching for young people suggests that God is bothered about all aspects of their life, and all issues that they face. If God is othered then shouldn't we be bothered as well? If we tell young people that God cares about all aspects of their life, then we should be too, which means we should be helping them with all issues around health, fitness, eating, homework, school, friendships, emotions, and a whole stack of others, This is the demonstration of the reality of relationship. If we have that relaitonship with Jesus, and have that relaitonship with Young people, then we should be there enabling, and making the difference in their lives, with the strength and guidence of God.
