A MESSAGE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

InChristsBlood,
Thank you for such wonderful words of encouragement. I enjoyed reading your testimony. I'm so glad you are serving the Lord again. My great grandpa got saved 4 days before his death, and said he wished he had done it sooner.
I got saved 3 years ago{july 16,1999}and it's been wonderful. the onley thing I regret is that I didn't get saved sooner.
you are right about us all doing everthing for Christ now. I am reminded that He can come at any moment, and when we least expect it! {kinda like when you least expect someone to come to your house and it isn't clean! }
I am 14, and hopefuly, if the Lord tarries,I can serve Him for MANY more years.

MEASAGE TO ANYONE ELSE WHO READS THIS: inchristsblood is right about us all needing to be ready for our Lord's coming. weither you need to get saved or if you need to serve the Lord better.
She is also right about surrendering your life to God if has called you to the ministry. My preacher says the safest place is in God's will and that we will never be completly happy unless we are doing what God would have us to do.
{I know that I need to constantly pray for wisdom and ESPECIALY patience {i have an awful temper! } and I need to do much more for my Savior. After all, He DID die on the cross for me, the least I coild do is serve Him.
I just ask that everyone really look at their life, and ask "Am I doing my best?"
your sister and
friend in our
wonderful, precious
Savior,
saved by grace 1999

inchristblood, i too have some points to add to what you've started. but first let i want to extend my appreciation in your assertions! indeed, though those statements have been many, many times said, it's always refreshing to hear from one.

well, i've gone in the same situation when i was devoted for obedience to God, but have declined from so at one point.

well, to all who have read what inchristblood had posted and are in similar mentality as she has right now, always be cautious that the heat, emotions, encouragement and companies from the bretheren in serving God will at certain times cool off, as God permits, until what is left of you is only yourself and your faith in God. There will even be times that obedience to God will look absurd. Then that may be a time when you will realize as to how much your faith have grown. to the world, we are fools for Christ's sake.

remember, king solomon himself failed in this matter, in spite of having the greatest wisdom, plus direct revelations from God. the reason for such failure though in the midst of all widom is that King Solomon trusted his own intelligence. it should be noted that however mature we become, we still cannot trust our own hearts, but instead always cling on God through faith. we must always be alert as our adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. to add to the point, if the devil has outsmarted king solomon in convincing him to turn away from God, just think of what he can do to deceive us should we trust our own hearts instead of Christ!

 

aki, You are very right about the devil decieving us. I am always reminded of the verse that says
"Wherefore let him that thinketh he stand, take heed lest he fall" I Corinthians 10:12 KJV
and that verse is very true.
just when I think think things are going good, I mess up! I guess that's another thing the Lord and I must work on!
In our Precious Savior,
saved by grace 1999
