Living the Purposeful life!

Dear Future Andrew, "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and now to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11). God has big plans for each and every single person that believes in Jesus Christ and you are included in that! So, first and foremost... how is your relationship with Christ!? Are you learning of the much more that God wants to give you!? Are you still settling for mediocre!? How are you doing with lust? Are you making sure that you set up proper boundaries so that you don't fall into temptation? Remember that nothing is as fulfilling as living a pure life for God! Lust is good at that moment, but it destroys who you are. It is never satisfied, but in Christ you can be completely satisfied! Remember, 1) you must not be weakened by your situation, 2) you must not be deceived by the persuasion - it is a lie, 3) you must not be gentle with your emotions, and 4) you must not be confused with immediate results! Jesus is life! He is the beginning and the end! He is EVERYTHING! If you are stressed with exams and stuff right now, why!!!!!???? You have a hope that exists through eternity! You have a purpose to live for and that is to make God known through a life that shines for Him! You want this campus to know Him, then keep shining! This is also near the end of the year... many of these people you will never see again. Take opportunities now to love people like Jesus! The Lord of all creation holds our lives in His hands! He is the rock of your salvation! He is your power, your strength, your sustainer, deliverer, and Father God! At this time, "Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." (Ephesians 6:10-11). You know that this is a time when Satan is trying to attack you, so put on that armour every day, and don't take any of it off for even a second! God loves you and cares for you, so stand firm with His armour always on! Jesus himself said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" (John 11:40). You will see the glory of God at Trent this year! Keep believing! People are seeking! The cross is a gift for every single person, no matter how bad they seem, no matter how weird or stuck up they seem! Jesus is life! Live that out for the rest of this year! God will help you through these exams! Just ask for His help and He will give it, cause He is right with you... even right now, because He lives in you by His Holy Spirit! God saved you at birth for a reason... and that is much more than to simply live a life where you go from day to day doing the same ol' and finding a wife, etc. He has a purpose for you that is beyond your wildest expectations! Live in that promise! From the past, Andrew
