A girl asks: I’m a 12 year old girl who tries to do anything I can to please the Lord. Every night, television Churches invite people to dedicate their lives to the Lord, but I want to wait until next year to do this. It also feels weird to change your life over the television. Is it wrong to wait, and does it matter where you do this?
Answer: It doesn’t matter where you do this, but it is wrong to wait. I don’t want to get too heavy with you, but we are not promised tomorrow. You can be taken at any point in time - and you don’t want to be out "working on your testimony" when that day happens. As 2 Corinthians 6:2 says, Behold, now is the day of salvation. It is freely offered. It is freely available. God loves you. He always wants to forgive you. Why would you pass an opportunity to have a relationship with your Creator? Don’t buy the lie of the world that says, "Oh, you can wait for that. You can go out and sow wild oats and love the world’s way; you know Jesus will always take you back." You don’t want to be caught by surprise, out in the world. Take the relationship now. Realize that He loves you unconditionally. And you can live a life for Him. Philippians 4:13 says, I can all things through Christ who strengthens me
