In a world full of uncertainties, one thing remains unshakable: the gift of salvation. As I reflect on my life, gratitude fills my heart for the saving grace that transformed my soul, brought hope, and redefined my purpose. Indeed, salvation goes beyond being a theological concept; it is a deeply personal experience that brings clarity, peace, and joy to a believer’s heart.

Waking up today I was overwhelmed—burdened, restless, and tired. A flood of pending tasks and unanswered questions weighed heavily on my mind, robbing me of any sense of peace. It was a moment of complete vulnerability, and I had a choice: to sink deeper into frustration or to reach out for help.

This year, 2024, in Teens Church, our theme is “The Holy Spirit, My Advantage” (John 14:16 AMPC, 1 Corinthians 2:8-10). Honestly, this theme couldn’t be more fitting because, for me, the Holy Spirit truly is the greatest gift from God since Jesus ascended to heaven. Reflecting on my life, I can say without hesitation that the Holy Spirit is not just a concept or a force but a real, living, personal presence.
