Youth - Westminster Presbyterian Church

YOUTH—YOUTH—YOUTH!!!

Dear Youth and Parents:

Have you noticed that people often tell you that the Lord is with you? What a comfort! But did you know that He is also inside of you!? The benediction that Dr. Leonard and I often give at the end of the service is from Ephesians 3 where Paul writes, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” When we accept the Lord for ourselves, the Holy Spirit comes to live within us. He gives us power (from the Greek word related to dynamite) to live every day, to be a witness, etc. Earlier in Ephesians, Paul writes that the Holy Spirit is a seal, a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance in Christ. We’re rich! We’re blessed! We’re going to heaven! We have the power to live this life, to do all that the Lord wants us to do! You are never alone, and you never have to come up with daily strength by yourself – the Lord gives it to you in Christ, from the inside out.

This Lent, let’s pray for each other that we would remember daily to ask the Holy Spirit to fill and use each one of us. Could you also take special time each day to read the gospel of John? Dr. Leonard and I will be preaching through it, and others in the congregation will also be reading it at home as part of the “Growing in Christ” series on Wednesday night.

There is something so special about each one of you!! And I think it is the Holy Spirit lighting up each one of your personalities. I love you! God bless you this Lent and always!

Warmly in Christ, Pastor Debby
