In the world of teenagers, everyone you talk to claims to be "original", "unique", and they say they have something new to offer...
From what i have seen, these are the people who give in the most to Social Culture. People always try and associate themselves with a "higher class" by appearance, attitiude, or even just an all-over fake facade. "omg! i love Hollister" they want to fit in, or "TWLOHA, is amazing!" when they have know idea the story behind it, they just know that everyone is wearing it...
This is elementary and junior high stuff people!!! let alone you doing it when we are in High school and even some of you in College.
I am not saying everyone who wears brand Names and TWLOHA is a conformist pig. People who find their entire identity in it though... the people that dont even know what THEY like any more... or just an attachment to material things....it can all burn, but who you are cant. niether am I saying that you are not unique...Everyone is. God designed everyone differently.
Whether you agree/believe or not, God created you and He knows what will happen in your life.
He knit you together inside your mother's womb. He knows you better than you know yourself.
To know the Lord is to know yourself. I can vouch for that and can give you many people to contact that can say that the Lord has done the same thing in their lives.
Humanity can deny it till they are blue in the face, but God is the answer to any struggle, addiction, fight, doubt, anything...
"how can you say that? the world is burning and God just sits there and does nothing!"
My answer:
Say a man is having trouble with his truck and the engine is just shot to hell...He takes it to a Mechanic.. he comes back a couple hours later and his engine is spread out over this long table, broken into all these different oil and sludge-covered peices...he cant tell what is what...but the Mechanic can see this "mess" but He sees how it all fits together when we cant. God is the world's Mechanic and he renews all the ''filth-covered" broken peices, cleanses them, and puts them back together in a way that we ignorant people wouldnt have been capable of imagining...
And for those of you who say "well, thats all grand and what not...but Im content with my life and everything is pretty much going great, so...God can do His thing but I'll do mine..."
Your life may seem content, but when your world does crash and burn , which i can promise you will happen without the presence of Jesus Christ, you will have nowhere else to turn but the arms of Jesus, someone who loves you more than you could possibly encounter in the world.
And for the ones who think " i'll turn to God when my life is over so i dont go to Hell. He wants to control it too much, i want control of my own life and im going to enjoy it while i can"...the Bible says that our days our numbered and YES life is too short to make the mistake of not giving your heart to God. How many times have you known or heard of a person dying in a car accident...Obviously unplanned.. I have known way too many.
Simply telling Christ that you realize that you need Him in your life. You may not be broken or damaged, you may be lost with everything and not know how you are but if you just ask Him to come into your life and do whatever he needs to do to make it right, will change your life. Just come to Him whole heartedly. Get youself a good Bible, I recomend NIV Life Application Study Bible, its amazing.
then when you finally know God, you will finally know yourself...
