Now that you are a youth

The Bible has completely and comprehensively defined who a youth is. A youth is characterized by strength, vigor, exuberance, passion. There's a fire in the belly of a youth, there's potential, there's a leader, a force of change and revolution. God wants to invent, he is still in the business of creation and we the youth are his agent. We are his vessels. Now that you are a youth, remember your creator (God) and give back unto him the gift of life that he has graciously given to you. If you give God back the life he first gave you, He will protect it. The Bible says we are the apple of His eyes.

Overcoming your fear

Text 3:23-25
How does fear comes?
Fear comes from our feelings
Fear comes due to lack of preparation
Preparation should start when you don't have challenges. Soldiers don't prepare in the times of war.
There are only three options to deal with your fear but only one can efficiently overcome your fear.
You may run from it. You can hope that it will someday disappear. Yes it may disappear but will leave an indelible mark on you. The third option is confronting your fear. Whatever you are afraid of is a pointer to what the Lord want you to do.
You can confront your fear, the fear of the unknown has made many people to fail in life. You are more than what you think you are.
Go and be more than you think you can be. John Mason said "what you see is not all there is". There is more to you than you know so don't let fear hold you back. Courage is not the absence of fear but pressing on despite it.

Rom 8:14-16

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery leading again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba, Father." 16 The Spirit himself bears witness to our spirit that we are God's children.

Rom 8:28-30

28 And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose, 29 because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; and those he called, he also justified; and those he justified, he also glorified.
