Young people and older ones alike ask themselves that question. What direction are you headed in with your life? What are your goals? Who are you and how do you fit into God’s plan and purpose for your life? These are common questions that teenagers ask. How you answer them can deter- mine a lot of things. If you are just drifting through your life with no real plan or purpose, then it is easy to drift into trouble, and to drift into things that can mess up your future. If you have no vision or goal for your future, then you won’t guard it. You won’t keep things out of your life that can mess up your future. If you don’t have a goal for tomorrow, and you hang around with people who don’t have goals, then it is easy to fall into actions and attitudes that can mess up your future, even if you don’t see it at the time. The Bible says that when people lack a vision, they perish. To put it in modern day talk, if people don’t see a pur- pose in their lives, if they lack a direction, they will perish. I see this so much. It is important to find your identity in God . If you know who you are, then you won’t fall into the traps that many people who have a lack of self identity fall into. If you have an identity, then you won’t let other people take your identity away. You will stand up for who you are. You will make the right choices, and not fall into just being whoever, for whatever crowd that is there. The purpose of this book is to help you find your direction, and your identity as a person. I pray that by reading this, the direc- tion of your life is changed for the better. 9 10
