Be the light of the world

source

Wherever you go, bring light with you. Show everyone that you have a clear purpose in the life you work for, and that persuading evil and depraved people has no effect on you. Don't be too quick to follow the advice of those who dishonor God. Rather, it tries to help people improve and divert them from the ways of evil.

Pray for those who oppose the truth and persuade them in a spirit of meekness and humility. A sinner, saved by you from error and placed under the banner of Christ, pleases all Heaven and will one day decorate your crown with a star of joy. The saved, thanks to an exemplary way of life, will lead others to the knowledge of the truth. Therefore, the work of salvation multiplies, and only on the day of God's great judgment will the immensity of the influence of this holy work be revealed.

Do not be confused by the idea that you can do little for the Lord. Take up the work and do the little that is within your reach, honestly and conscientiously, and you will succeed, because God will be with you.

God will write his name in the Book of Life, as the name of a worthy person to enter into the joy of his Lord. We will fervently pray to the Lord to send workers, because the fields have turned white and have matured until the harvest. The harvest is excellent, but few workers.

All young people must have a broad perspective and foresight to make the most of the opportunities that are open to them. They must have the inspiration and courage that characterized the lives of the apostles.

The apostle John testifies: "I wrote to you, young people, because you are strong and the Word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one." An exalted life is drawn before the eyes of young people. God invites you to give him your best powers for service.

Sincere young people who want to study in the school of Christ will do a great job for the Lord, if they only hear the call of their Leader, who addresses the believers of our time, saying: "Be brave, stand firm!"

You must be among those who walk humbly before their God, preserving the image of God, free from all impurity and debauchery, who are doing their destructive work in this age.

You must be among those who despise all lies and all evil, who strive to be brave and faithful, holding the flag of Christ relieved with Blood. Your gifts that you use for the Lord will increase many times over. They will be of great value in your eyes, because you purchased them at a great price. Don't give up because you can't do something great. Do the work you can do, do it conscientiously and diligently and God will show you the results at any time.

Young people who want to serve God and make himself available to him must first cleanse the temple of their souls and put Christ first in their hearts.

Then their evangelical work will be endowed with power from on high and they will manifest sacred zeal, convincing people to reconcile with Christ.

God does not suppress in young people his desire for everything noble and exalted. The characteristic qualities that bring success to a person and honor in society are the inseparable desire to do the greatest possible good for people, the unwavering will, resistance and perseverance at work are those qualities that cannot be neglected.
