Christian Youth - God Has a Bright Future For You

We live in a confusing and changing world. With so much discord and unhappiness swirling around it can sometimes feel impossible to lead a truly Christian life. When our political and social leaders are making great missteps and failing to succeed as being an example of good Christian living, it is easy to get discouraged. Despair not though, as a Christian you need not look to those around you to feel God's love or for a good example. Know that your heavenly father wants only the best for you as a Christian youth, and that He provides you with all that you will ever need to succeed.
"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord.
They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a
future and a hope."
-- Jeremiah 29:11
The times that Jesus Christ lived in were no less tumultuous than the times we live in now. Through his actions and great love for man, God showed the people of that time what it meant to be a Christian. God sacrificed his only begotten son, so that we would be able to love one another as God loves us and that we would fulfill his wishes by leading a good Christian life. The Christian youth of today is blessed with the opportunity to live in a time that you can do so much good in sharing God's word. Know that you are blessed and have the power to help others by setting a good example of Christian living.
"I can do all things through him who strengthens me."
-- Philippians 4:13
Living your life as a good Christian means accepting others even though they may be different. The Christian youth of today can make a radical and lasting difference in the world by living their lives as God would want; by leading by example and by demonstrating that a good Christian life is a full one. Family, friends and God's word are the greatest gifts that one can ever share and are all the rewards that come from Christian living. We are so blessed to have God's great love in our lives. How better to honor that love than to share it with others who may be living in darkness?
"Be strong and bold; have no fear or dread of them, because it is the Lord
your God who goes with you; he will not fail you or forsake you."
--Deuteronomy 31:6
Armed with the great love of God, there is no obstacle that you cannot overcome. Being a Christian offers you so many opportunities to share God's word and God's love. Don't be afraid to be overjoyed at the great gift you have as a Christian youth. Know that, no matter what trial you are facing, God's love will see you through. Stick to your beliefs, and live your life as God has commanded and you will reap the rewards of a good Christian life. Even in your darkest hour your great faith and Christian living will light your soul and fill you with a great peace, knowing that you are never alone.
"The Lord will guide you continually."
-- Isaiah 58:11
