WHEN I was born in May 1982 I was already employed and I started working. Until now, I still work. Despite running a business of my own right now, I realize that I am still an employee—and I have a Big Boss supervising all of my endeavors and itineraries. I am glad that despite the many times that I fail Him, he still keeps me in His Company.

I am not a religious person. But I have always lived the life that I believe God has envisioned me to live, with all my strength and capacity. And I know that He would be happy if He sees me working for a godly life every day. 

Thinking back, I could hardly count the many times He had walked with me, nor the many times when He carried me when I could no longer take my journey.

But many young people today don’t understand this. They are devoured by their own pride. They depend on their own strength. They lean on their own understanding. They trust their own money. They count on their friends. They count on what they see and what they know.

The result of such an outlook is a total systems failure. When depressed, they resort to drugs. When broken-hearted, they fail in their subjects. When they fail their subjects, they don’t bother to get up and try to recover. In short, they choose to ruin their own future. They vainly try to repair the damage instead of preparing for so many other opportunities. 

You have all the necessary tools to build a better future. You have the energy, the time, and the capacity to do so. But if you won’t acknowledge that there is Someone-Up-There who can hire and fire you any time of the day, it would take you a lifetime looking for a job and end up still looking and looking for it.
