God's Plan

Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." How can this be applied to us as teens? What is God's purpose for the teenage years? Development? Learning? Preparation? What do you think?

Living as God's Teens.

In many places around the world, teens are looked down on and are shunned because of low expectations put on them. In America, most teens are usually expected to become drug addicts, drink, lose their virginity, or rebel, whether they be personal or public offenders. The expectations of teens are so low because some choose to live their teen years in the wrong way. The teen years are years of development physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The decisions we as teens make now will affect the person we become in the future. What kind of person do you want to become? Teens all over the world are wasting their lives for pleasure and gain. How are you going to live in these years? God calls us young men and women to "be an example to the believers" (1 Timothy 4:12). God has high expectations for us teenagers. Let's start living as God would want us to. Let this blog be a place for spiritual discussion and encouragement. This blog is for you guys. Discuss, encourage, share what you have learned from God. Let's show people that we can be mature, responsible, God-loving teens. Let's start living as God's teens.
