STRENGTH

Dear Christian teens,

My strength comes from Him and Him alone.

When I'm in pain, I will look above my pity.

When I'm in the depths of darkness, I will seek His light.

I hope we all will.

I hope we all rely on Him, our Savior and Healer.

I pray that all will find His love and comfort in tough times.

When you lose your way and you're lost in confusion, dig deep into His word and you will find His amazing love. Oh the precious love of Jesus will bring us back to the cross and on our knees in front of Him.

Christian teens, know that you are not alone. Our God is with you, holding your hand through everything. You may feel like you're not worth it. But you are!

Although we don't deserve all that we receive from our Heavenly Father, you were created by Him. And He especially loves you.

Our Jesus will not leave you and He will never forsake you.
Just look at all the amazing examples in the Bible.
Paul, Peter, James, Mary, Joseph...and so many more.
We may be persecuted for following the Lord. We may lose everything in this life.
But look to the great reward at the end.
Matthew 25:21a says, "Well done my good and faithful servant."

I strive for my Lord to say this to me when I meet Him at those pearly gates.
So servants of the Lord, find your strength in Him! And kneel at His cross so that
you can draw closer and closer to Him.

sincerely,
