FOR THE YOUTH OF TODAY – a short message to them


Life is filled with moments where we have to start over—be it due to mistakes, challenges, or the natural changes that come with growing up. Each new phase can feel overwhelming or confusing, but remember that every new beginning is a chance to learn and grow. Just like how the seasons change, so do we, bringing unique beauty and opportunities to each stage of our lives.

As you approach graduation from middle or high school, consider how this time marks a significant transition not only in your education but also in your relationship with Yeshua (Jesus) and Adonai (Lord). These relationships will serve as your guiding light. Just as Moses experienced dramatic beginnings filled with struggles, he became a great leader through faith and perseverance. Your trials are opportunities to lean on these spiritual connections, inviting guidance into your life as you navigate new responsibilities and exciting possibilities that lie ahead.

Leaving school means stepping into a world brimming with job opportunities and decisions. It’s essential to explore paths that align with your talents and passions while also considering how you can serve others in your community. As you seek employment, remember to approach each opportunity with the values instilled by your faith—integrity, compassion, and commitment. In doing so, you not only fulfill your responsibilities but also reflect Adonai's love and purpose in your life.

Surround yourself with friends who encourage you and help you grow. Proverbs 27:17 reminds us that "iron sharpens iron," emphasizing how our relationships can uplift and strengthen us. As you forge these connections, be mindful of those who genuinely inspire you to pursue the dreams that God has placed in your heart. Together, you can create a community that faces challenges with resilience and hope.

Starting fresh doesn’t mean forgetting the past; it means using those experiences to lay a stronger foundation for your future. Everyone makes mistakes—it’s a part of being human. 1 John 1:9 offers assurance that if we confess our faults, we can receive forgiveness and begin again. This principle extends to our relationship with God and with those around us. Learning to apologize and rebuild trust takes courage, but it is an integral part of personal growth.

As you move into this new chapter, hold onto the hope that every ending is truly a new beginning. The future may seem uncertain, but with faith and a positive mindset, you’ll discover what you can accomplish. Keep your dreams alive, and don’t let fear hold you back. Remember the promise in Jeremiah 29:11: God has plans for you, filled with a future and a hope.

So take a deep breath, embrace the changes, and look forward to what lies ahead. Each day is an opportunity to start anew, to pursue your ambitions, and to grow into the person you aspire to be. Dive into these new beginnings with confidence, knowing that you’re never alone on this journey. Trust in Yeshua and Adonai to guide and support you through every challenge and triumph you encounter.

Fish, Fire, and Forgiveness: A Morning With the Risen Jesus

Image
  The moment when Jesus, risen from the dead, appeared to His disciples on the shore of the Sea of Tiberias is one of the most poignant and fascinating episodes in the Gospel of John ( John 21:1-14 ). This seemingly simple encounter, when the disciples catch 153 fish after a night of catching nothing, holds rich layers of meaning that stretch far beyond the physical miracle itself. In this encounter, Jesus not only reveals His identity and mission but also lays down a profound teaching about the Church, the gathering of souls, and the provision of God to His disciples. Through careful examination of the Hebrew Scriptures , Greek texts , and early Christian understanding, we can uncover the deep spiritual significance behind the number of fish and the details of this miraculous event. Jesus Appears on the Shore The scene begins with Peter and six other disciples—having returned to Galilee after Jesus' resurrection—deciding to return to their former lives as fishermen. After a...

FORGIVENESS EQUALS FORGIVENESS

Image
Here is a difficult topic for just about everyone I know. I hope it is a blessing to you and helps you to overcome the problems we all face with forgiveness. This is what God gave me as I was going through my life of hurts.  He dealt with me seriously. It is kind of long, so bear with me please! =D   **************  Emotions are strange. But bad emotions are easy to figure out. Emotions, like anger, fear and resentment result from one simple thing - unforgiveness. That's all. Period. But not the end of our discussion. These emotions are caused by unforgiveness of sin that was committed against us, or some sin we have committed against someone else. Sin is sin in God's eyes no matter what it is. If it is against God's commandments, it is sin. Anything that is not of God is sin. We were born into it through the sin of Adam and Eve's disobedience to God's commandment for them not to eat off of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2:16-17 And the L...

The Unseen Battle

Image
Standing Firm in Faith It’s a paradox of the Christian life, isn’t it? To be told to fight an enemy we cannot see, to walk through this life in faith, yet to be told by our flesh, our minds, that the fight is sometimes invisible, and the victory feels just out of reach.   It’s like being in a storm, with no horizon in sight, and no lighthouse guiding us through the fog. The unseen forces pulling at us, pulling around us, making us feel so small, so vulnerable. We don’t always see the bigger picture, and often, we can’t even feel the presence of the One who promises to be with us. There’s a tension between the spiritual truths we know and the emotional, physical, and mental battles we face daily. And if we’re honest, sometimes it feels like we’re fighting blindfolded, with nothing to hold on to. It’s not a new problem either. This goes all the way back to the heart of the garden, to the very beginning. God spoke to Adam and Eve, gave them everything, set them in the Garden of Ed...
