*Sometimes we let our fears keep us from doing God's will.
- We usually can't understand how God's going to work everything out but His ways are not our ways. If we trust in Him, we can follow Him with confidence.
*God always wants people to admit they've messed up and ask Him for forgiveness
- No matter how bad they've been, He promises to take them back and continue to be their personal, loving, and grace giving God.
*It's important that we really work on developing deep, meaningful relationships with the people who are our brothers and sisters in Christ
- When it comes to the family of God, every person who's a part of it is there because he or she was bought with Jesus' blood.
- God loved us so much that He paid for each of our sins and welcomed us into His arms.
- "You have heard that it was said, 'Love you neighbor and hate your enemies.' But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who hurt you."
*When you imagine your future, what do you feel?
- The future seems thrilling because of all the unknowns. And it seems a little scary, too because of all the unknowns.
- There are no guarantees in life unless you're committed to God, then you have the greatest guarantee you could ever hope for.
- If you've accepted Jesus as your Savior, you have His promise to take care of you.
- Even if you face tough times, and you definitely will because ups and downs are part of living, you can rest assured that His peaceful presence will carry you.
- When you leave your future in God's hands and rely on Him to lead you, you'll learn the respect of others and enjoy the freedom of being in the center of God's will.
- But above all, you'll please the Lord of your life who offers you a future beyond your dreams.
*What are constant, reliable things in your life?
- You know that almost anything in life could change in an instant.
- Is there anything in life that can't be lost?
- In Psalm 73 Asaph said, "God, You're always right. I'm a fool for doubting You. When I feel alone it's not true, You're always with me. When I feel lost, You guide me! I'm weak and sinful, but You make my strong and pure. You're all that's worth living for."
So when you get the chance
Are you gonna take it?
There's a really big world at your fingertips
And you know you have the chance to change it
Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
