Teenager, Who Are You Really?

Have you ever felt like you’re trying to be someone you’re not? Maybe you feel pressured to fit in, to look a certain way, or to meet expectations that don’t align with who you truly are. The world is loud, constantly telling you who you should be, how you should act, and what you should believe. But have you ever stopped to ask, Who does God say I am?

2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” You are not defined by your past mistakes, your insecurities, or the labels people place on you. In Christ, you are made new. Your worth isn’t found in popularity, achievements, or how many people approve of you. Your worth is found in the One who created you.

Psalm 139:14 reminds you, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Think about that for a moment. You are not an accident. You are not a mistake. Every part of you—your personality, your gifts, your dreams—was intentionally designed by God. So why waste time trying to be someone else?

The world will try to define you by your appearance, social status, or even your failures. But God defines you by your purpose. He has placed something unique inside of you, something that no one else can carry out the way you can. Have you ever wondered why certain things stir your heart? Why you feel passionate about certain dreams? It’s because God has given you a specific purpose, and He wants you to walk in it with confidence.

Breaking free from society’s expectations isn’t easy. It means rejecting lies that say you’re not enough, that you need to change who you are to be accepted. It means standing firm in your faith even when it’s unpopular. It means choosing to believe that God’s plan for your life is greater than the world’s approval.

What would change if you truly embraced your identity in Christ? How would you live differently if you stopped comparing yourself to others and started living in the confidence of who God created you to be?

You don’t have to wait until you’re older to walk in your purpose. God can use you right now, just as you are. Will you trust Him with your identity? Will you let go of the pressure to be someone else and embrace the masterpiece He created you to be?

Teenagers, Finding Purpose through Christ

Hey there, teens! School's out, the sun's shining, and summer's calling your name. But beyond the fun and freedom, there's a golden opportunity waiting for you: the chance to dive into self-discovery and uncover your unique purpose. You might wonder, "Why now?" Well, because you were created for a specific reason, as a solution to a specific problem, and through the knowledge of Christ, you can start to uncover that purpose. Why Self-Discovery Matters In a world that's always changing, knowing who you are and what you stand for gives you a solid foundation. Self-discovery helps you understand your strengths, passions, and values. It's about figuring out what makes you tick and what brings you joy. When you know yourself better, you can make choices that align with your true self, leading to a more fulfilling and purposeful life. Created for a Reason Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, whi...

Sex and Lust

*Sex & LUST* I need you to understand that LUST is different from SEX. Lust is a desire in the heart to gain a sexual experience with some one. Sex is a decision and action. Your problem is not sex but LUST. Lust is the major challenge of teenagers. If there is no LUST at work, sex won't step in. Lust always shows up in your mind or head as a suggestion. The moment you give it attention, it settles and becomes your master. There is nothing like unplanned sex...or temptation that showed up accidentally. Temptation or rape is an opportunity that met a prepared mind trained or nurtured by LUST. Guard your heart against LUST via Gods Word and it will become easy to deal with the issue of sex. Sex is a choice, a decision and an option or suggestion. It is not a helpless feeling. It's deliberate in nature consciously or unconsciously. The Holy Spirit is aware of your struggle. Come to him un-ashamed. HOPE EXPRESSION celebrates you. # PrinceVictorMatthew
