Only yesterday I was a child, I remember my childhood stage, I was so restless that, for all the details, my mother caught my attention. Today I open my eyes in a new awakening of life, and I find that I am already a teenager. I will soon be an adult and then, at the age when the Lord says, there is no contentment.
The truth of all is that youth passes so fast, that there must be a better way to invest the time of my adolescent life, and nothing better than in the kingdom of God.
There is a biblical passage that strikes me very much, which says:
9With what will the young man cleanse his way?
By keeping your word. 10 With all my heart I have sought you;
Do not let me deviate from your commandments.
Psalms 119: 9-16 New King James Version (NKJV)
What a wonderful word! The best way for us young people to clean our way is to keep the word of God. On our way as teenagers we are going to find many things that provoke temptations such as cigarettes, drugs, music, fashion, gang rivalry and disorderly sex. The apostle Paul taught a young man, I think his name was Timothy, to flee from youthful passions. The truth is that it is something very tremendous, this youthful stage is not very easy, because you are exposed to a set of very disordered desires, that the only way to get rid of all this is to develop self-control; for this reason the word that we are analyzing says very clearly, that only the word of God allows us to keep our ways from all these things that affect youth.
I am really a novice, and I am looking for ways to attend church with my parents and meet with the youth of the church to interact with them and participate in the musical group and youth Bible studies. The word of God is the only instrument that has the power to redirect the path of young people and allow the Holy Spirit to help us develop the fruit of self-control.
I personally think that the best way to live youth is by investing our talents and full life in the kingdom of God.
Blessings for all young people, especially those who can read this message. Regards.
