I know there are hundreds, maybe thousands of blogs talking about God, but I've decided to make this blog a little bit different!
I've decided to make this blog in order to reach out to every teenager out there and tell them that yes, God is there and he's always listening.
I'm a sixteen year old who's been through a lot and I know what it's like to feel abandoned, depressed, made fun of and hopeless. I've gone through all those feelings that most teenagers struggle with. And every time I felt smaller and weaker. It's like every time something bad happened there wasn't going to be anything to mend my broken parts. Like I was hopeless and that was it for me, but that never lasted. Because every single time I got really down, God stretched out his hand for me, even in the tiniest bits of details that we, humans, cannot feel or see. I want every single other teenager to realize what I've realized, to understand the will of God and his mercy. To know that he's never left you no matter what you've done. I want you, who's taking their time reading this, to know that you can depend on God and not fear any consequences. I want you to understand that the good in life and the bad is a gift. A gift to feel the existence of God and his will. Because no matter what God gives you, it's always for your own good. You might not see it that way at the beginning, but as time goes by, you'll see it crystal clear.
Because in the end, it's all about patience.
And I specifically want to direct this blog to teenagers, because I can understand you perfectly. No matter what you're going through, I can always help. But know that God is the one giving me such an ability to do so.
It's a funny story really, how the idea of this blog came to my mind. I was having such a stressful day and I cried more than three times so I decided to take a shower. And during that shower I had a huge headache and I started fretting out about my exam tomorrow and I needed something to calm me down. I knew medication or talking to someone wouldn't really do it so I did the first thing I hoped would relieve me. I drew the cross sign and asked God to help me. And that's when the idea of this blog flashed suddenly in my head and I knew that might be something God wants me to do and if it is really his will then it'll somehow work out.
I'm actually an Arab and I live in Jordan, a place where probably most of you guys would recognize because it's close to Syria, Iraq and Palestine where a war is going on. It's a hard time we're living in right now. We're always afraid where the next hit is going to be, as most of you know a lot of Christians have been targeted and killed or immigrated. In all honesty, I'm afraid. I'm afraid one day those bad people will enter Jordan and take down everything, but at the same time I believe in God's will. I've put my hope in God and his justice and I truly believe that he wouldn't let anything happen if it wasn't eventually for a reason and that kind of wears away my fear.
I won't drag this any longer. The thing I want to point out is that I'm going to do my best to show you that you can truly depend on God through what I face daily. I'll hopefully be able to help every single one of you and work out problems that we, as teenagers, suffer mostly or rarely.
I really hope you stick around and come back for this blog once a day/week/month or whenever you want and I hope you find the answer to what you were looking for.
May God be with you all, and never stop believing. ♥
