Message to a Young Man


Dear Young Man,
Happy 18th Birthday. My family and I are still in Honduras so will not be able to spend actual time with you, but I wanted to share some thoughts with you on this special day.


Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own (limited) understanding. In all your ways acknowledge HIM and he will direct your path.


My pastor showed me these verses when I was 14 years old. 14 years later and they still guide me through good and bad times. You are a smart guy and will achieve much in life. My advice would be to never take God out of the center of your life. Place all your dreams and ambitions in God’s hands and He will take care of you. Trust him with your future. Trust him with your family. Trust him with your education. Trust him for your future spouse. Trust him for you future job. Trust him for funding. Trust him for every detail you can possible think of. Make sure you keep him centered and I promise you he will direct all your paths. He will guide you. He will lead you. He will make all his grace land on you. You will find favor with everyone you come in contact with. You will find favor in life.

The sky is the limit for you. Memorize these verses and meditate on them day and night. You will begin to see miracles all around you.

I love you,


Rey
