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.

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

.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.”)
