You can't get lost if you don't know where you're going.

I found this picture on an app called ifunny and I really like it.

Let me start off by giving credit to who ever this is and I do not own this picture I am simply using it.

He will bless his loyal followers, both young and old. -Psalms 115:13

I am not lost. Neither are you. God is taking us to a place that we would never expect to be. The thing is that we do not know where we are going. But the only thing I can say is that is that we trust in him we will be bless. Just for being loyal followers no matter what age we are.

Refinement

What does the word refinement mean. According to google.com it means "the process of removing impurities or unwanted elements from a substance".

Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. -Proverbs 27:17 [English Standard Version]

God is refining me every single day of my life. When ever I butt heads with someone I know that's God using them to make me have more patience and more sympathy with some people. There are areas in my life God is refining. He does this to me so that every part of me can worship him. He will do that to you too. God has used the people that are in my life to sharpen me like the verse says. All I know is that at the end of the day in a little closer to him than I was yesterday. :)

Age is nothing but a number

Let no one look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in your speech, conduct, love, faithfulness, and purity. -1 Timothy 4:12 [New English Translation]

Let's just start by analyzing this verse. It starts off by saying to let no one look down on you because of your age. Be an example to the people of believe in everything you do. People are always going to have their eyes on you and they will speak of the good you do and the bad you do. It will always happen. My leader sent me that verse one day and it really spoke to me a lot. I'm a young person just 18 years of age and I've only walked with God for a year. It's not a lot but you see a change in my life. The way I communicate and express myself are completely different than they were before. I always try to be at my best because people are always watching. You need to be the change in this world. "You may ask yourself how can I change the world?" It is very simple. Pray to God for him to change you to his will. How he wants you to be. You have to let him mold you into the man or woman of God you're called too.

There is a person reading this right now that wants to give it all up but I tell you right now. Don't do it. It isn't worth it. Pay the price and sacrifice what you need to sacrifice. It may look tough now but you'll look back at it and laugh. You have people looking up to you and you don't even know it. Set them the example. No matter the age.

God will use anyone who is willing to let themselves be used by him. Don't belittle people and just because someone is young doesn't mean God won't use them in powerful ways. He can use kids just as he can use adults to do his will.

My eyes are set on God.

Every time I pray I ask God to reveal something to me. Something I should know. Something to be aware of. Today while I was praying to God he showed me that he was the one who has solved all my problems so why would another problem I have be too much. Nothing is too much for God. Right now he is the one who is going to bring down my giant. Like my Pastor said in one of his preachings. "Focus on your giant and you will trip but focus on God and your giant will trip". Get your giant while he's down. With God everything is possible. With out him nothing is. Going through a desert isn't easy but it isn't impossible. My eyes are set on God. He will be the one guiding me and my life is set in his hands.

Living to reach the treasure.

The meaning behind that title is simple to explain. I am living to glorify God. My passion will bring him fame. He put me on this earth so I could preach the truth and use my testimony to help people realize that there is a point to living. One day we all have to die. That's when I will reach the final treasure. Heaven is the treasure I'm trying to reach. Once God tells me it's my time to go I can be content to know that I will reach the treasure I was working to reach while I lived.
