All the time as Christians we wish to do God's will, but when it's staring us right the face we often doubt that we ourselves can do so or we think of what other will think of us. But really we are doubting God when we doubt ourselves. God has a purpose for us and using our talents to do his will, just as Philippians says:
"Philippians 2:13-16 13for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
14Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe 16as you hold out[a] the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing."
God knows exactly what we can do and asks us to forget the world and focus on his will, and when the day comes that we see him in Heaven we can say that we did not turn and walk away when we could have helped someone who truly needed God that very second, or say we couldn't do something because it seemed to big but really knowing inside that we can do anything God calls us to do.
Luke 9:62 62Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."
The idea that if we don't look back and stop when we are so close to doing something big is very frightening when expectations of teenagers today is set so low. But God makes us stronger in every step we make if we don't turn and run.
Luke 22:61-62: 61The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.62And he went outside and wept bitterly."
Even when we fail, God forgives us, He has something big meant for us, which gives the words "We were meant for so much more" Meaning and truth. God Meant for us to do so much more then what we are expected in the world's view. We hear it everyday that the generation of our youth will bring about the future of the world, well in that future, we could change the world in doing God's will.
