The following was shared during the 2018 Annual Youth Day service. Several youths were invited to write a letter to their former and/or future selves, encouraging them to stay with Christ and trust that He would bring them higher!

Dear Older Dominick,

 

By now you’re probably a nice, well-groomed young adult. And you’ve already, and still, facing challenging obstacles while on the journey of figuring out what you will be doing for the rest of your life. I know there may have been times where you just felt like giving up, like you can’t go on much farther, but as long as you trust in God you can do anything you’ve ever dreamt of.

 

Remember Philippians 4:3 says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” So, if you believe and put your trust in God, you will go higher in all you do.

 

Sincerely,

Younger Dominick (14 years old)
