Dear Beyond Youth,
I want to share a few quick thoughts with you from this morning:
- You aren’t defeated by your problems. Philippians 4:13 may be from an old book, but it is still true so we need to live by it. “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
- Now, go back and read Philippians 1:6. You can never stop becoming a better person. You may be an amazing person now, but the closer you get to God, then the you’ll go from amazing to fantastic to phenomenal to invincible.
- Surround yourself with people who will build you up with prayer, love, and encouragement. Get rid of the people that will tear you down with ridicule, false hope, and discouragement. Even if you need to make new friends.
- With the previous point in mind, consider Hebrews 10:24-25, which states, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” In other words, getting together with other believers is important in public places and in church. It is where we can encourage each other, have a good time, and help each other walk with God.
- I want to watch you and help you succeed. So, if there is anything I can do for you, then please contact me.
- I love you.
- God loves you.
- I’m proud of you.
- Keep advancing.
In Him,
Pastor Dewaine
