The teenage years are important ones. They’re not a time just to “get through” as fast as possible. Especially when it comes to spiritual things!

It’s easy to wish away the turbulent teen years. But I wish I could show you what they’ll look like twenty years from now… when you and your child will fondly remember these days. You’ll see that God was doing great things. He was teaching your son or daughter to think, to understand, to trust and to take risks. He was molding them just as He wanted.

And beyond that… He was teaching you to let go. And to trust Him. These lessons in spiritual growth are too valuable to wish away!
