You're probably familiar with Burger King's slogan, "Have it Your Way."
I believe it sums up today's culture perfectly.
It's all about chasing after what you want.
Doing what makes you "feel good."
And teens are certainly not immune.
That sense of pleasure so many of our teens crave?
We both know it's NOT sustainable.
And what happens when the "thrill is gone?"
They're left unfulfilled and yearning for something or someone greater to provide meaning to their life.
In honor of Good Friday and Holy Week, today's post is about helping your daughter find that greater meaning to her life, outside of pleasure.
From the time we were born, we were taught to chase the momentary satisfaction. We were taught to find the largest high to fulfill our greatest lows and for me, that was sex. I gained my ultimate satisfaction from the opinion of man. It wasn’t until I discovered that a righteous, pure, just man died for me, that I found my true value and worth, Jesus Christ. Now I no longer have to chase the momentary satisfaction because I’ve found a permanent one. Thank you for planting a seed in all of our lives Ms. Jackie. What you do matters.
Like the young lady above, many girls turn to sex thinking it will make them "feel good."
