Your Question:
What's the point of even trying when I know I'm going to die young?
Answer:
My son, I can see the weight of mortality bearing down on you. It's natural to feel overwhelmed by the thought of death, especially when you're young. But let me tell you, as a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with this very issue. We're all going to die, regardless of our age. It's not a pleasant thought, but it's a reality we must face. The problem is that we often focus on the end of life, rather than the life we have now. We get caught up in thinking about what we'll miss out on, rather than what we can accomplish while we're here. But God calls us to be faithful with what's in front of us, not to worry about what's to come. As the Bible says, "with God nothing will be impossible." We have hope for life after death, thanks to Jesus, and that gives us the courage to live life to the fullest, even with the knowledge of our mortality. You know, I've seen many young people, including your friends, leave this world too soon. It's a tragedy, and it's a reminder that life is short and fragile. But it's also a call to make the most of the time we have. Don't let the fear of death hold you back from living the life God has planned for you. Take risks, pursue your dreams, and serve others. You never know how much time you have, but you can be sure that God will be with you every step of the way.
