I have an idea that I think could help a lot of people and could go far, but i'm scared it will be a lot of work i can't handle, or it'll just be a one-time thing. What do I do?

And I'd like to say I can't help it but, I can help some parts. not all, because of some current cicumstances and all, but I can stop wasting my life. The world and its views lack excitment, and I know life's not all about excitment but really, teens are supposed to be lazy? Come on! The world wants us to waste our life! That makes me kinda mad. It makes me want to go do something, but I don't know what. Perhaps I'll think of something...anyway thanks for this post, it's kinda moving :) heh...Peace! (why do I always put that?)

You are trying really hard to "do hard things"... But, you aren't really getting anywhere. I personally don't think you are wasting your gifts and talents. Maybe, though you are using them incorrectly. God DOES have a time and place for you to use those talents & He will allow you to use them for Him if your heart is in the right place. Keep it up!! Pray that God will show you His divine guidance in this matter... Maybe He has something REALLY BIG planned for you and this is just a planning ground for your future. God bless, Eliza "For every season there is a time and a purpose for everything under heaven..." Sarah Pena,

I have a question. It is off topic but I am anxious to know the answer. I have some talents and want very much to use them for God's glory, but what if I try <i>really</i> hard and still don't succed? That is not wasting my gifts, is it? Sarah. :) Could someone help?

We can tend to respond to the call of hard things by saying things like, "I'm just a kid," or "I'm no leader." This is direct unbelief in the power of God. God is omniscient and omnipotent as I just recently learned at Youth Camp 2008. He knows all our weaknesses and our limitations and he would not give us anything that we can not accomplish. God also is all-powerful and can overcome anything. There may be some things that you can never accomplish but he can accomplish anything. The bible says that we can do anything through Christ who gives us strength. So you can doubt yourselves but never, I repeat NEVER, doubt your God. So what now? Well, since we can do anything through Christ, aim high and ask big things of God, because he is a God who does big things. It's time to step out of our comfort zones and do challenging things for the glory of God. Now is not the time to kick back and do nothing, now is the time to take action! Let's get out there and DO HARD THINGS!!! Thanks so much for challenging us all to step out of our comfort zones and do hard things, this is the wake up call we've all needed and that so many others still need. Keep doing what you're doing. =D ~ Rebecca Whitpan, West Chester PA Too true guys!

May God bless you! That really encouraged me. God is so amazing. His Word is so full of life, when you're sitting home, don't be bored, don't start watching the TV, but start reading His Word, it's filled with so much, with the best plot lines, and climaxes, and above all the best lessons. Even in parts of the Bible, that you can't typically put into the "story" category, God can show you a meaningful lesson from it, if you need it. God bless you, Julia Thank you! May God bless you!
