Dear little Richard,
You have many interests. Your mind is full of wonders.
You’re naturally curious and want to learn many things. That’s good! It simply mean
that your life is not as dull and boring as many kids in your generations. But
as you pursue knowledge, don’t forget about this: Learn to put God first in everything you do (even in your studies
of theology and works of ministry).
In Exodus 20:3, God makes it clear that we must have no
other gods before Him. Why? Because “the Lord your
God is the God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God”
(Deuteronomy 10:17). As you may have already realized, the world tempts us to
do otherwise. The world – especially the system of the world – seems to cry, “Worship me with your time, your money, your
energy, your thoughts, and your life!” May we be wise and won’t fall prey
to that temptation.
Rich, you will always have some type of relationship with
God. It’s inevitable that your life must be lived in relationship to Him. The
question is not if you will have relationship with Christ; the burning question is whether
that relationship will be one that seeks to honour Him… or not. My
brother, are you willing to place God first in your life? And, are you willing
to welcome Jesus Christ, God’s Son into your heart? (That mean, He is the King
rule over your life). Unless you can honestly answer these questions with a
resounding YES, then your relationship with God isn’t what it could be or
should be. Hey, God is always available, He’s always ready to forgive your sins
and He’s even waiting for you now to come back to Him. To put Christ first in
everything you do. The rest, of course, is up to you. Be still, and know that
[He] is God (Psalm 46:10).
Your brother,
Richard
