Risk to Let Go

            There is no such thing as zero risk. Life is full of risk. For example, every car journey involves an element of risk; that doesn’t mean that we walk to cover distances. There are risks associated even if we stay indoors. However that does not mean all risk is unavoidable. Most of the risks can be managed and measures taken to avoid or to reduce the harm. There is also risk in the youth work and ministry. We have a responsibility to create a safe environment for the young people we serve. They are far too precious to be exposed to harm, especially when it is unnecessary or avoidable.

            Young people often take enormous risk just to prove their worth to others. Without giving a second thought to the consequences of their take steps these rash decisions eventually leads to their downfall.
