MESSAGE:
As a teenager, you must learn to appreciate the good things that you see in your parents. There is a spiritual law known as the law of transformation. It simply says that whatever you admire is what you will likely become. If you like something, you will devote more of your time to it, and after a while, it will begin to influence you. What are your likes and dislikes? If you like the wrong things, you will end up doing them. When you appreciate certain good qualities in the life of your parents and spiritual leaders, in the long run you will start to exhibit those qualities.

As a teenager, when you look at your parents, there are many good qualities which they possess that you should covet too. If your father is a very cool tempered man who doesn’t shout at his wife, you should learn to be cool tempered and patient too. If you see that your dad spends considerable time praying and reading his Bible, imbibe this too and get closer to God. Let the good qualities you see around be reflected in your life, and you can be sure that your future will be bright. God bless you!

Key Point: What you appreciate is what you will become.
