Hey guys this is a great song.
People may look down on you for following God, but God is with you every step of the way.
As you walk with him, he will bless you along the way. ☺
Why Can't God Be Your Best Friend ?
0 Teen Talk
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A BEST FRIEND WHO ...
o.... you thought you could tell all of your secrets to? Maybe you thought that they would never tell anyone, after you "pinkie sweared." Then you find out that your "best friend" told waaaay too many people, and now EVERYONE knows your secret.
o .... didn't understand what you were going through? They cared more about their problems/drama than they did about you.
o.... wouldn't forgive you even though you were truly sorry. Maybe you were befriended and your "best friend" finally decided to forgive you a month later.
o.... wasn’t there to listen to you when you needed them the most. Maybe they were unavailable when you needed them.
BUT GOD WILL ....
o.... never tell your secrets to someone who He thought wasn't trustworthy. Sometimes God may give someone a clue to give you encouragement, because he cares about you that much.
o.... always understand what you are going through. He will never leave you, and make you feel like no one understands.
o.... forgive you as soon as you as for forgiveness. The Bible says that God forgets all of our sins as soon as we ask for forgiveness. Hebrews 8:12 ~ "And I will forgive their wickedness, and will never again remember their sins."
o.... always be there to listen to you, as long as you are willing to hear his reply. You can tell God ANYTHING, and He will never judge you. When you need someone to only listen to, or cry to, he is always there to listen.
♥ SO WHY ISN’T GOD YOUR BEST FRIEND? ♥
TAMING THE TONGUE
0 Teen Talk
I think that taming the tongue is one of the hardest things for us teenagers to control. A lot of times we try to say the smartest or meanest thing to someone but we don't consider the other person's feelings.
I just recently had that problem with taming the tongue because someone was putting my sister down and trying to call her out. I didn't necessarily want to hurt the girl's feelings, but I wanted her to realize what she said wasn't helping the situation. It was hilarious because I couldn't figure out the right words to say until I had gotten home. ( Don't you just hate that!!) I know a lot of us have had this experience. I told my mom and she told me that God didn't want me to speak when I wanted to speak. I do believe that because I didn't just want to tell her that her comment was unnecessary, I wanted to bring her out like she did my sister. I had to realize that if I did what she did, then I wouldn't have any room to correct her.

True Repentance
0 Teen Talk
Imagine someone came up and smacked you in the face. They apologized to you and you truly forgave them. Then the next time you saw them, that person came back and smacked you in the face again. Even though they say sorry, you know by now that they don't really mean it.
Acts 20:26 ~ First to those in Damascus, then those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles also, I preached that they should repent and turn to God, and prove their repentance by their deeds.
Even though we ask forgiveness from God, there are some people who don't truly mean it. Some people repent, and go back doing the same thing that they asked forgiveness for. So we go to God and say we're sorry, but then the next day, we smack God in the face by doing the same thing we wanted forgiveness for. God knows if we are really saying sorry and if we aren't and he won't forgive us. No matter how much we cry, or cry out to God, we won't be forgiven unless we truly mean it.
Repent ~ ask for forgiveness, and turn away from

3 Ways to Tune Out Your Parents
0 Teen Talk
1. Do what they ask you to do - If you do your chores, get good grades, assist them if they need help, they will never bother you for anything. You've already done everything they've asked, so the only way they would bother you, is if they're going to reward you.
2. Don't get attitudes - If you get upset with your parents give them a great fake smile, and walk away. If you get an attitude with them, they will only bother you even more. This will make you more upset, and cause unnecessary trouble. (trust me i know ☺)

3. Don't play the silent game - This doesn't work. Our parents won't care. Think about it... if we aren't asking them for stuff and aggravating them, that will only make them happier. This is a plan that will always backfire.
