Decide to Thrive: Youth EditionSample

You Can Decide To Thrive

Thriving doesn’t mean a problem-free life, but it does mean living with purpose and joy, trusting God through every step. Our life is shaped by the choices we make daily, and to truly thrive, our decisions must align with God’s Word, Will, and Way. Over the past few weeks, six key choices were explored—choices that lead to a flourishing life.

1. The Priority Decision
   Put God first. Starting with God each day sets the foundation for everything else. When He is the priority, life gains peace, purpose, and clarity.
2. The Relationship Decision
   Build healthy relationships. Surrounding yourself with people who encourage and support your faith creates a community that strengthens and uplifts.
3. The Purpose Decision
   Live on purpose. God designed each person with a purpose. Sharing His love and serving others gives life meaning and impact.
4. The Growth Decision
   Commit to growth. Becoming more like Christ requires consistent effort, learning, and stepping out in faith. Growth leads to transformation.
5. The Influence Decision
   Use Your Gifts. Every talent and ability has a purpose. Using these gifts to help others honors God and brings joy.
6. The Generosity Decision
   Choose generosity. Living with an open heart reflects God’s love. Generosity blesses others and brings fulfillment.

Commit to making these decisions daily, leaning on God’s strength and the support of others. Growth is a process, so celebrate progress and trust that God will complete His work in you.
