Is There a Future for Me?




Dear Gabriel Girls,

 The horrific terrorist attack in France has ignited great fear in the hearts of the world.  Young people especially, I think, are afraid that in a world gone crazy, their future looks bleak.

 If you are feeling hopeless and afraid, let me encourage you today.  

 There is a powerful verse in Psalm 91 that says this:  “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High . . . will not fear the terror of the night” (Psalm 91: 1, 5 ESV).  God is telling us that if we live under the shadow of His wings, we will not have anything to fear.

 What does this mean? It means that God wants us to trust Him with our lives as a little baby trusts his earthly father.  A baby doesn’t worry about what she is going to eat, where she is going to sleep, what she is going to wear. She knows her Daddy will take care of all of that.

You are God’s child. As you trust Him with your future, He will take care of everything. Even in the midst of a world that has lost its way, you do not have to lose your way.

 No matter what happens in the world, God will be with us. Even if our bodies are killed, our spirits can never be killed. Someone may try to harm or kill our bodies without our permission, but no one can ever harm or kill our souls without our permission.  It is in our souls that we are truly free.

   It is in our souls that we are truly free.

The most important issue for you to focus on at this point in your lives is to develop a close relationship with Jesus Christ.  If you do that, everything else will fall into place.   

 When Satan tries to make you afraid about your future, remember that Jesus Christ holds your future in His hands.  If you remain in Him, you will have nothing to fear.
