What I Really WantПример

Written by Beatriz, age 16 from Alpharetta, Georgia, USA

Don’t we all secretly want "instructions" for life? A “how-to” when it comes to big decisions, tricky situations, and everyday dilemmas? I think that would make everything a lot easier. Well, lucky for us, God has something pretty similar to instructions for life. It’s His Word! The things written in the Bible can help us make the right choice, even when we’re tempted to make the wrong ones. And the coolest part is we’re able to compile all the advice, encouragement, and guidance God gives us in one safe place: our hearts! Yeah, I know it can be a little weird to think about... but our hearts are what matters most. Our hearts are a most personal and treasured place. So, when we keep God’s Word there, it’s easy for us to remember and it's always ready to help us face temptation and make good choices.

Going forward, remember that if you know what God says in the Bible, it can help you to do the right thing no matter what you might be tempted by!
