Dear Christian teens,
Sometimes our hearts ache at what isn't anymore.
Our God has blessed us with so much, but we still miss what we once had.
Not necessarily something of material value,
but something of much greater satisfaction.
We still know we haven't completely lost everything,
but the abundance of it all seems to slowly thin.
Then again, we know we're not to complain...for we are still blessed beyond measure.
But when things begin to change, and you don't know how to handle it, you can't help but feel loneliness and loss.
Then your anxiety and doubts start to creep in.
You have an unending, but distant feeling of sadness.
We're going to be okay, for we have God, our Father on our side.
He eases our pain and gives a still peace.
We simply have to know that we have an all-sufficient Friend.
Jesus. Forever Jesus.
He is like a balm and soothing medicine for the soul.
Just as the things we've felt we've lost...
Except ever more lasting.
Christians, there are times when our Father blesses us with wonderful things.
Sometimes spiritually, sometimes in our ministry, maybe even just through our family and friends.
But remember, there is a season for everything.
God has an extravagant plan...sometimes it requires seasons that are dry.
But know that He does this only to grow your heart.
You're going to be okay.
You know why?
Because you have an all-powerful God as your Father and Friend.
He will ease your pain, and give you the most still peace.
sincerely,
Sophie
