God is not enough.

Okay so here is lie number one.

When I first started reading 'Lies Young Women Believe' I was truly shocked at these first couple of of points! Lies about God? hm.

I need my friends more than God.

Always or sometimes agree- 88%

Never agree- 12%

Emotionally we as people rarely can imagine our lives without something. Ipod, friends, TV, music, fun, money, sleep, sugar, Internet etc...But when you narrow it all down it comes to one thing. This 'thing' can be disguised very easily- social life, texting, e-mail, phone, companionship, feeling valued. Did I miss any?

If only...
If only...
If only...I had my friends and God!

Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
Psalm 73:25

How many of us have felt that? Really felt it. Where giving up everything worldly from people to stuff travels to solitude and contentment!

How important are the girls and guys around you? Many of us don't think of our companions (family as well) as idols but oh how even the smallest crossing over boundaries can diminish our power to fight back!

Listen girls, I'm writing this Blog because I am so faulty. I want to be admired and loved just as much as you. I desire it in all the same ways. Shall we continue to fill these holes with...our idols?
Our friends? Our loves? Our pleasures?

Just the other day I was feeling out of spirits and I could almost picture Jesus shaking His head at my sin. I realized that my Saviour adores me. He loves me enough to sacrifice His son! Who among us would sacrifice EVERYTHING for the sinners around us?


A teen said "God is so big. He has so much to take care of with wars and natural disasters and stuff like that. I find it hard to believe that He cares about what is going on in my life."

Think about that. We believe in this all knowing God and yet the fact that our hormones float up and down and we tend to mess up doesn't concern Him? He's to big for us?

This is what Jesus says- Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them forgotten by God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:6-7

I was having a discussion with my mom one day and she was correcting me on something I honestly didn't understand. What was I doing wrong? We were interrupted for a few minutes and while I sat there fuming about how unfair she was being I received a thought. What if I could be different? What if I could stand for what I know is right and stop acting like all the other teenagers on the planet? What if I could act like Jesus? Girls, don't we love to be unique? What better way is there then to shake our disdain for conflict and difficulties and face them like women...?

God is enough. We just have to take the time to snap out of our little worlds of comfort and ease.
Please take the time to pray, confess and adore our Father!
