Hey people!!! :)
For my sharing, I've decided to illustrate a short story using a quick comic I created this week. 'Cause to me, pictures speak more than a thousand words and I also felt that it would be more fun to share it this way:) The title of the story I wanna share is "The Starfish Story". Perhaps some may have heard of this story before. However, this story is a meaningful reminder of our importance in the Kingdom of Christ. So, here it is (if the words are too small, click on the picture to enlarge it).
So, how does this story apply to us as Christian teens? Well, I'm sure in our everyday lives, we may sometimes feel that our actions may not be able to make a huge impact on others 'cause... we're just kids! For example, when we try to spread the gospel to others, we may feel that what we're doing isn't good enough or that our actions are simply not making much of a difference to others... Or maybe others may tell us that what we're doing is as good as doing nothing. Sounds like SUPER demotivating right?? But in 1 Timothy 4:12, the Bible states "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in faith, in purity."

Instead, with God, everything is possible:)
Ciao for now,
