What are your beliefs?
You are influenced in many ways, especially at a young age, that help you to develop certain beliefs; and one of those beliefs, God, may or may not have been one that you were introduced to. If not, might you seek to be introduced. For if you are willing to believe in Him you will see the glory of God, such as forgiveness and freedom of your sins, refreshment and renewal and everlasting love (see John 11:40), and be changed forever. #SomeoneWorthBelievingIn

Decisions are never easy, especially the one's that may affect another; but, nevertheless, they need to be made. Such was the decision that needed to be made by Jesus's disciples to follow Him. Hence the question that you may want to ask yourself: "What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?" (Mark 8:36). Might you consider your decisions very carefully for they can have echoing effects. #SeeingTheBigPicture

What does your name reveal?
Your name is one of the most valuable assets that you ever own. With this invaluable asset, you establish yourself as a person, just as God did so for Abraham and Sarah, the father and princess of many (see Genesis 17:5, 15). So, as you live your life with the name that you were given, might you choose to live it in such a way that you honor and respect yourself and Him. For your name is the only thing that you have and truly matters. #ANameIsEverything

How can you be hopeful that good will prevail?
By praying The Lord's Prayer. "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). This is how you can remain hopeful and know that justice will be served. For He will wipe away every tear, death, sorrow, crying and pain (see Revelation 21:4). So, might you remain hopeful in praying His prayer. #AHappyEnding

What kind of people do you want in your life?
Good people, especially good friends, are hard to come by, and even more so when you need them the most. It is when times are difficult that you know who is by your side. So, if you have such a person, might you always remember to "greet one another with a holy kiss" (Romans 16:16). For these are the people who will always love, support and help turn your dark days in to bright ones. #TheGoodOnes

How well hydrated are you?
Just as water is vital to your survival so is He. Because, when you are not well hydrated, your mental, physical and spiritual well-being becomes depleted and water alone can not fix the issue. It is when you also seek Him that "rivers of living water will flow from within [you]" (John 7:38), thereby allowing you to receive the refreshment that you need to stay well hydrated. So, if thirsty, might you "come to [him] and drink" (7:37). #BeRefreshed

How impulsive are your decisions?
Words and actions can be very costly, if not careful. Moses made a poor choice, regarding water, "because [he] did not trust in [God]"; and for this decision, "[he was unable to] bring [the Israelites] into the land" (Numbers 20:12). Hence, actions have consequences, and some bigger than others. So, as you make decisions, might you seek guidance when you need it, because "desire without knowledge is not good" (Proverbs 19:2). #Pause #Pray & #Proceed

What do you see in life's landscape, especially your own?
Might it be the stars that wink at you, the moon that smiles at you or hearing the thunder during God's bowling match. Life's landscape, even our own, speaks to us, especially when we pay attention. For one day, the landscape will change, once again, and "you will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands" (Isaiah 55:12). As you consider the landscape, yours included, may you take a moment to see, enjoy and change it, if necessary. #TakeItAllIn

What can a child teach you?
As challenging as it can be to raise or be around children, they can teach us a great deal. Showing and reminding us of such an example is Christ's birth. Once upon a time, a child himself, He reminds us of how a child can teach us the greatest of all lessons...love. So, instead of dismissing or being annoyed by a child, might you embrace and not "hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these" (Mark 10:14). FYI...You were once a child and still are one of His children. #AChildsLove

Storms can roll in, at any given time; and when they do, how will you handle them? Whatever storms may come your way, you don't have to face them alone. If you allow Him, He will rescue and draw you out of any water, even the deep ones (see Psalm 18:16); and face any enemy, even the powerful and strong ones (see 18:17), for you. Might you consider letting Him rescue you, when the storms come. #BeRescued
