In today’s world teens and young adults are drawn into the media which is filled with the temptations of becoming wannabe rock stars and celebrities. These people are convinced that their bodies aren’t perfect enough, their hair isn’t long enough, they’re not smart enough, they’re not tough enough, or their just not enough. But in God’s eyes, this couldn’t be any farther from the truth.
God wants his children to strive to become God stars instead of rock stars. He wants to transform lives and give you a fame that could never be compared to anything of this world.
God offers more glitz and glam than Hollywood offers, and his kind never has to end. He offers you love, satisfaction, acceptance just the way you are, and forgiveness. Hollywood offers you pain, rejection, loneliness, and strips you of self-worth (But of course you don’t even have to be in Hollywood to get a taste of all that).
So, do you want to be famous? Do you want to be a celebrity without having to impress anyone other than an audience of one?
You can, by becoming a sold out God star!
Give your life and desires to God and let him transform your life into something beautiful. He will forgive all your sins, forget your past no matter what you’ve done, and give you a dream and a hope for your new future. He will guide and love you as you learn to love and live for him. And then when it’s all over, you will have the reward of spending eternity in a mansion that your creator has built just for you, in heaven. It will be like nothing you have ever imagined, and all you have to do to have it is believe. Believe in God, and his promises to you.
Reflect
1. Are you ready to become a God star?
2. What things in your life do you need to work on to start that process?
3. Visit the “Salvation Prayer” and begin your new relationship with Jesus.
Pray with me
Dear Father, thank you that in you I have all I need. Thank you for offering me so much more than this world could ever offer me. Please help me not to be distracted by what the secular world thinks I should be. I want only to focus on who I should be for you. Please keep me focused on living for you.
In your name,
Amen
