True Beauty Begins In The Heart - A Devotional For Teenage GirlsSample

Discernment

The decisions you make today will affect your future. Sometimes the link is clear and dramatic: a decision to take a hit leads to a lifetime of addiction. A decision to have sex leads to pregnancy. Sometimes the link is more subtle: those smaller choices, like experimenting with Wicca or sexting, gradually wear down your character and integrity so that you become a different person. Even “small” decisions can have a big effect on your future.

Never underestimate the value of wise decisions; like the proverb says, they’ll be life for you.
