I
am a young man. I am important to Yahweh/God. I am important to this world I
live in! There is work to be done through my body, my mind, and my spirit that
only I can do!
For this reason I was
born, and only as I fulfill this purpose will I realize true satisfaction in
living! Only as I fulfill this purpose will others be blessed the way God
wants. Only as I fulfill this purpose will I be the kind of man my parents
want, the kind of man my future wife and children need. Only as I fulfill this
purpose can I be who I’m really supposed to be.
The choice is mine. I
know that God does not force my will. God is a gentleman. If I choose I can
live without purpose. I can choose softness, laziness and indolence. I can
escape reality with drugs, drink, daydreaming, television, and pornography. I
could choose to do my own thing, go my own way, never finding the reason for
which God placed me on Planet Earth. But the world will suffer if I choose this
course. God will be saddened. And I will, in the end, have less than what God
has purposed for me.
I realize that my mind
and body and spirit were entrusted to me for something important. I realize that
I must be a wise president to rule, lead and unify these three entities, my
mind, and my spirit. I want your help with this challenging task Father in
Heaven! Help me to conquer! To build! To work heartily! Help me to keep in
communication with you, the great Creator of Heaven and Earth! Please link me
to yourself with your great love and power that I might experience real life!
Since, Father, you have
this plan for my life, and since you have a special work that only I can do, I
accept your challenge, if you will promise to help me. I will place myself in training
now. I will seek to live in harmony with your physical, spiritual and mental laws,
and I will allow you to shape my mind, sharpen my faculties, and strengthen my
body and spirit so that I may become a real man, a man in demand. Thank you for
shedding your blood and giving your life for me, Lord Jesus.

I will say that I strayed
very far from this plan for my life, living a very prodigal son style life.
Quite frankly living against what He has designed me to be. May I never do that
again.
we all make mistakes and hopefully we all grow
