RELIGION YOUR BACKGROUND DOES’NT DEFINE YOU A s a young person you need to know that your background and your past don't define you. Who you are is not based on where you come from, what language you speak, what kind of family you are born from or the school you went to BUT, on what the WORD of God says about you. Below, I have put 4 points based on the written word of God just to encourage you: 1 .You are of eternal value and significance because God has a purpose for you- Regardless of who mistreated you, what lies you've been told, or how bad your past has beenyou have a future and God has good plans for you. Life can be bad, but God's heart is always good! And only he can turn the bad into good.(Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end”) .You have an amazing contribution to make to the lives of the others. 2 God created you for the purpose of serving Him in the lives of others. This will be your family, your friends, your community, your co-workers, and your future family. People you have never met are counting on having your good influence someday. Don't mess it up (Proverbs 27:17, “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend” By Rev Monica Mwami 3 .You have incredible skills and abilities to develop for God's glory Don't compare yourself to others. Let God help you become who He designed you to be. You have gifts and abilities that you have yet to discover and develop, so don't lose hope!(1 Timothy 4:14, “Neglect not the gift that is in thee..”) 4 .Your only hope for real happiness is a real, private, personal relationship with Jesus Christ It starts at salvation but that's just the beginning! Walking with him, knowing him and learning of him on a daily basis is where life is really at its BEST!(Proverbs 18:24,”..There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”) BDM TALENT ISSUE #04 26
