TO MY LOVELY TEENAGE GIRLS:(FINDING YOURSELF) A journey of self discovery

Hello everyone Divine here ,and I’m here with another interesting topic written with so much love

Everyone wonders who they are at some point in their life’s .As a part of Gods church,you can not only know who you are -But who you can also be !!

As a girl you ask yourself who am I right ?

You know you have a relationship with God already but you still want to know where you stand in this world .

Or. You feel you have backslide and you think God doesn’t have a purpose for you anymore?!!!

It’s likely you have tried to answer that question yourself.

You might see yourself as a born again,that good friend or always the nice person Etc.

Whenever we look at ourselves there is a verse of the Bible we need to remember that is ( Jeremiah 17 vs 9). The heart is deceitful. The danger of using our hearts to understand ourselves is that it can make us a victim of self deception

DECEPTION:a thing that deceives

SELF DECEPTION:more of like self deceiving,when you force yourself to believe that a false feeling,idea is true

To get a perfect look at who we are ,we are to look into the Bible .

We have been told to use Gods word as a mirror to truly understand ourselves,how we are doing and how we need to grow .

As a growing Christian we need to check ourselves and our actions .

When we look at ourselves with the Bible we can see where we are and how we can improve through the presence of repentance

(Acts 3vs 19)calls us to repent ye there of;and be converted that our sins maybe blotted out

Girls I know this questions might have been rolling around your mind ?and trust me to give you an answer to them

1)WHO CAN YOU BE??

Girls let’s not go through life unaware with the potentials we carry as we have been made in Gods image

GENESIS1vs 26-27)

With that potential in mind,we should be working on developing his(Gods) character in our lives,exhibiting the fruits of the spirit.It may seem impossible but we can develop the character traits of God our creator (Mark10 vs 27)with God all things are made possible !

*)Exhibiting the traits takes being all you can be in Christ .

My dear girl,the Bible tells us in the book of Matthew 25vs 14-30 that we are called to lead a life of growth,not stagnation.

FIND YOURSELF!!!!!

Here are also 5 tips on how you can grow spiritually:

1) PRAYER: The first step to developing Gods character is to ask God (James 1 vs 5).prayer is a very important attribute for any relationship with God .

2) BIBLE STUDY: we said prayer is a way we communicate with God ,but bible study is also a way of fellowshiping with God .

Studying Gods word is a way of building intimacy with God . God inspired the Bible to help in many aspects of our growth and development (2Timothy3 vs 16)

3) FASTING: This might be easy for some and hard for some ,trust me I’ve been there .But you must understand the basics of this before doing it

This is more than starving ,this is you abstaining from any distractions eg(social media) and spending time with God in the Holy Ghost .You identify your weakness when you fast

And please note that fasting without spending time with God is just you starving yourself. Fasting is a Powerful tool in growing closer to God

4)EXAMINE YOURSELF: we need to examine ourselves in order to find out where our weaknesses are . When you feel sick ,you examine your temperature then you go tell mummy right? But spirituals when you feel convicted in your spirit [that is you are aware of a wrong doing ] then you know what the problem is

This is why our bible study is important, When you feed more on Gods word , you become more aware of your sins and you try to fix that through Gods help

It is important to ask God in prayer to help us see ourselves honestly and not to sugarcoat our weaknesses. (Psalm 19 vs 12)

5) MEDITATION: This is taking your time to fully digest what we learn from our prayers or word study .It brings stillness and clarity.

Deep thoughts on a matter is often necessary for us to apply it in our lives

Getting a journal helped me a lot on this one ,it shouldn’t necessarily be fancy ,just get a book and write down what you’ve learnt then reminisce on it with God

The path to self discovery is not always easy, but it is the right path.

– Take up the challenge of trying this steps

–With God all the way, things get better

I pray that this piece gets to every girl out there including anyone that might need this we must all grow together. Love you all
