Teenagers are people too!: Having a personal relationship with Jesus cant be equated with church attendance. Perhaps your parents tried to instill faith in you as a child. You were exposed to the teaching of Gods Word. You may have tried to follow the rules you were taught, but it all seemed so boring. THERE IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE IN HAVING RELIGION AND HAVING A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. A parent cant make a child love God. That is something between God and every individual personally. But a parent can continue to pray for you, love you unconditionally and trust God with the outcome. God will take care of you: - God is good - Every plan He has for you is good - He may not always lead you in the way you would choose to go, but He will lead you the best way - He will take care of you. What you commit to His trust, He will protect. A good way to start receiving what you want from others is to start giving it first. We usually want everyone to give us and, in fact, we get angry when they dont. Also find someone who is really blessed and happy, and watch how that person lives. Dont follow miserable people. If you do, you will end up just like them. Choose your friends carefully - they have effect on you. Form a habit of being good and kind to others, and you will be a happy person. We spend too much of our time worrying about how others treat us. We should be concerned about how we are treating them. Remember - first give what you want to receive. any farmer knows that he will never reap a harvest without first sowing seed. Begin today to be as radical about giving to others as you want them to be giving to you! If you want unconditional love, mercy and respect, begin giving it to others. Dont fall into the trap of self-pity, being resentful toward those who dont meet your needs. Look to God to meet your needs and ask Him to use you to help someone else.
