Re: A Letter From a “Kidult”

Kidult (ˈkɪdʌlt) n. A person in transition between childhood and adulthood; an adult that acts more like a kid; in Taiwan they are called the cao mei zu (Strawberry Generation)—they look good on the outside, but are easily bruised.

Hello friends!  I am a kidult. I heard that people call my generation the “kidults,” because we really look good on our outside appearances, but when it comes to challenges, we appear to be “weaklings”.

Okay, society. Honestly, I do not like the fact that we are called that way, but thanks for telling us we’re beautiful people though. 🙂 Apostle Paul said that we should not let anyone think less of us because we are young but instead we should be an example to all believers in what we say, in the way we live, in our love, faith, and our purity (1 Timothy 4:12). I believe that this generation is not what you think it is. In fact, I remember one of our pastors calling this generation the Joshua Generation, where young people are anointed as true leaders that will bring God’s people to the Promise Land. From what I see, more and more young people today (and  still counting) are getting involved to the greatest purpose of humanity and I know that God is using our leaders to mold us into leaders that will not just lead people, but will also produce more leaders, mimicking the act of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I like this song of Chris Tomlin,

We are the chosen generation
Rise  up holy nation
God we live for You

Our generation has been chosen by God! Isn’t that amazing? Shouldn’t you be proud of us, society? I am so excited about God’s plans for us, for all of us. I wish you are, too. We have better future when we are in God, you know. So society, please. Instead of judging us, why don’t you just help in molding us into better leaders by taking the advice of Apostle Paul. I think everyone should follow that instruction regardless of their age. Together, let’s influence others in love, faith, and hope. Let us help each other get closer to God.

Sincerely,
me
Reppin’ the Kidult Gen
