Who are you going to prom with?
I have a dear friend and live in a world that is obsessed with love and romance and being in a relationship. It's all about identity and reputation. Sophomores aren't even aloud to go to prom unless they have an upperclassman date. I am not concerned about it. It is easy not to be tempted when nothing is tempting us and we just have to know in our hearts what is right. But when it comes to suddenly having to stand up for yourself in Christ it becomes more difficult. There are so many questions coming at you. Why aren't you going to prom? If someone asked you would you say yes? We all have dates why don't you? Then it can start to become a battle from within. Satan tempts you and tells you lies. The world is so obsessed with making sure you either are doing all the wrong things or feeling bad that you aren't. Can Jesus truly be my date? Am I okay with that? How can I have normal relationships with guys that aren't sinful or awkward? I need to be content and confident in the strength of Jesus and fill myself in a life of Him! Not just to fill it but to truly change my life to be a light for Christ. Once I get my license I am hoping to start a bible study with girls that don't have leadership in their life and just to be a friend to them! This could be girls from my school or refugee girls that need to be led in this life! And if my heart is right with God it can be with others too. I just don't want people to even question who I am except a daughter of God! They shouldn't need to say why does she do that or why does she act like that? I just want them to know it's because of Christ. Everything I do should be because of Him! God may lead me to have normal relationships or even a "prom date" next year but no matter what it will be done for the name of Christ. That's all that matters. The way I dress, the effort I put into things, the way I love people should all reflect my love for God and obedience to Him! He is so very very faithful! I want to obey Him! Being His child I am called to obey Him but I also want to!! Almighty God I trust in You and You alone!
