Fifteen Years

In just four days, i’ll be turning 15. 

That means that i’m a whole fifteen years into my life. 

As I look back at the many things that have happened in those 15 years 

that have gotten me to this point,

I can’t help but thank the almighty and loving God for helping me 

through the winding roads of life

and the slippery slopes of the mountain of faith.

The challenges,

the heart-breakings,

the mistakes,

the lies,

the disobeying,

the anger,

the peace,

the overwhelming joy, 

the love,

the grace,

the kindness,

and many more of these come in the package of life. 

I have experienced all of these in my past 15 years.

I can say that I have experienced them in a year.

But the one thing that many haven’t experienced, 

and that I am so grateful to experience,

is the belonging to the Lord, 

I am his child,

his loved one,

his once-lost sheep.

He had found me 10 years ago,

and had mended my lost heart and made me new.

I was nothing, but he gave me a title,

I am His and forever His I will be.

He takes my wounds and heals them with the touch of his words.

He tells me that I am not alone when I feel like no one cares.

He gives me peace in my times of anger and reminds me that evil is the result of anger.

And that all evil is the work of Satan.

He tells me that there’s is a larger plan at work when I think things are just falling apart.

He is my joy,

he is my life,

he is my peacemaker

he is LOVE,

he gives me rest when i’m restless,

he is my calmer,

he gives me hope,

he gives me a purpose and reason

he is my father,

he is my GOD.

Young or Old: God Has No Limit

But the Lord said to me: Do not say, I am a youth, For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. (Jeremiah 1:7 NKJV)

God tells Jeremiah that he shouldn't say that he's a youth. He says this because he wants Jeremiah to realize who is talking to him. He wants Jeremiah to know that he's the almighty God that can do all things and can even make youth and young people useful in bringing news from God. He says this to show US that we are not too young or too old to bring glory to his name and to live for him. There is no age limit to serving him.

We can be used by God at any age

even when we’re young

One Moment

Some people say that God is always just, merciful, loving, kind, and generous, but

There was one moment when God wasn't just, when God wasn't merciful, when he wasn't loving,

when he didn't show kindness and turned his face away, when he wasn't generous.

That moment was when he sent his son to die 

for the sins of man and suffer on the cross.

God did not show mercy to Jesus, 

he was not just, 

he wasn't loving and turned his face away,

he was not generous and kind to Jesus. 

When Jesus bore our sins upon himself, 

God could not bear to look upon his son.

He did this so that WE may be forgiven,

So that WE could live and praise him forever and be with him in eternity,

so that WE could have a second chance

so WE could walk with him like we once did.

He loved us SO MUCH that he allowed this to happen:
