Unmask

Matthew 11:28

God’s plan and purpose for every teenager is for them to become training conscious. Teenage is the stage of life from discovering purpose and path of life. Teenage is a stage from training according to Gods intention. Teenage is a stage where a lot of things draw your attention. Teenage is a stage teenager conceives lots of question. Teenage is a stage where the foundation of destiny must be in place through Gods wisdom.

Teenagers live with lots of expectations from parents and society so much that they wear mask. The mask is not the hiding places for teenagers but this is not the original plan of God. The urge of acceptance in the hearts of teenagers is so high that they just pretend to be accepted. The need of a sense of belonging is presently making teenagers to embrace the mask. The mask has influenced each teenager to dual identity but this is not part of Gods plan.

What is the mask?

The mask is a mindset that makes you to believe things that are not truly part of you. The mask is the impression you create for people to see, love and accept as true. The mask is what you want people to believe about you aside from the original truth. The mask is compromising your faith just for your friends to accept you. The mask is you deceiving people to love and accept you. The mask is you not being truthful to your self just because you want people to love you. The mask is you living to fit into people expectation instead of Gods expectation. The mask is you pleasing other people even if it means you insulting your priority just because you want to be accepted. The mask is a defence used to live a false life with the desire of being loved in return.

Don’t be afraid to be a lone as a teenager; you are unique. If any one hates you for pleasing the Lord, such people do not deserve your friendship.  

You are unique not because of the kind of phone you use; you are unique because Jesus loves you. You are not unique because of the number of ladies or guys you have kissed; you are unique because Jesus loves you. You are not unique because your parents are rich; you are unique because Jesus loves you. You are not unique because you have sex frequently with guys; you are unique because Jesus loves you.

You are not unique because you smoke and watch porn; you are unique because Jesus loves you. You are not unique because of your profile picture on whatsup, facebook or twitter; you are unique because Jesus loves you. 

You are not unique because of your beauty and curves; you are unique because Jesus loves you. You are not unique because of all the fake impression; you are unique because Jesus loves you. Dare to be your self; you are a teenager with purpose. They can mock you but don’t give up on your dream. They can mock you but protect your virginity with dignity. They can mock you but keep studying your bible. They can mock you but focus and look unto Jesus the author and finisher of your faith. They can mock you but dare to say “no” to night parties or night clubs. They can mock you but still say “no” to smoking and watch of porn. They can mock you about your weaknesses but allow Jesus to make you. They can mock you about the things you lack but still be contended with what the Lord has provided for you. Remove that mask and just be your self. If He or she doesn’t love you it doesn’t mean you are useless; your value as a teenager is in Christ.
