Stand Firm: 10 Truths Every High School Girl Should KnowSample

One thing to be celebrated about your generation is how important it is to always be growing and trying to live a little better than the day before. This is a worthwhile pursuit and can have a huge impact on the world as a whole. But how do you know if you’re living “better” each day without a standard to measure against?

God has given you the ultimate standard to aim for. Jesus, the Son of the Living God, came to earth and lived out a perfect life as an example for you. Look to Him as you develop the traits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control and be intentional as you reflect the glory of Christ to those around you.

Choose role models who inspire you to live a life that glorifies God and positively impacts others. And embrace the true fulfillment that comes from living a life centered on Christ
