We have such a wonderful opportunity as Christians born into this time in history. I love to think about how God put me on earth during this time in history on purpose. You, too, were born into this time of history very strategically by the Lord. We've found ourselves in the midst of an all-out war in the Spirit for the salvation of our generation. Although you and I didn't choose to live in such a day, God is watching how we respond.
Every Spring, I come across dozens of Christian High School students who are filled with regret (especially Seniors). Every May, I hear sentences like "I wish I would have done more for God," or "I wish we would have prayed for my school," or "I wish I hadn't just coasted through the year." Many of the students who lead the Christian campus ministry at their school come out wishing they had taken their group more seriously.
Be encouraged to hold nothing back. Ephesians 5:15-17 is a glorious example of Scripture encouraging us to make the best of every opportunity. Every morning you wake up to pray at your school is another opportunity. Don't give up, and don't grow weary.
So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. - Galatians 6:9
Don't be found wishing you had done more when your days in High School are over. Give these years to the Lord and sow into the mission field of your school. You are in one of the greatest missions fields on the earth today, so don't hold back. Do that fast, pray the prayers, love the lost, and serve like it's your last chance because it will be over before you know it.
Of this I speak from experience. In the end, be able to say you gave it your all and you'll be ready to transform a college campus.
