young /11:21 PM
i should say this while its still justifiable. ((: i'm 20 (soon) and i'm still young!
contrary to common belief, though i am going to pass my teenage years, i think i'm still very young. in all sense (: and that i should make good use of my youth. now, what would that statement mean to you?
Matthew 19:14
'but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me
and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of
heaven.”'
i shudder at the thought of how swift the devil works. after spending some solitude time, thoughts like "you're so immature a christian; you're young and worthless; people are like how spiritual and you're like so unready, you're like a weed; you're just a small fry" came bombarding all of a sudden. i was so so so afraid and started praying for protection and strengthening against these attacks and for a verse to keep myself grounded in God. and i am so amazed and thankful that He gave me matthew 19:14 almost instantly. i may be young, like a child in this spiritual journey, but its to people like me- that the kingdom of heaven belongs. (: amen! if anyone out there may lapse into this hysterical state of mind, do remember this promise God has already made some 2000 yrs ago, that He doesnt despise young christians at all, but loves and enthusiastically & warmly welcomes us and promised us that the kingdom of heaven is
ours to inherit. (:
from the bottom of my heart, i hope that my nonbelieving friends will one day indeed
taste and see that the Lord is good. psalm 34:8
