1. Discover Your True Identity
You're more than just a name or what people say about you. Your identity runs deep, and it's found in understanding "WHO I AM."
That means knowing who you are in Christ. When you realize how much God loves you, you'll discover your true worth and purpose.

2. Develop Your End Game Strategy
Think about life like a big puzzle.
To put it together right, you need to start with the end in mind. Starting every day with God gives you a clear vision for what you want to achieve.
Spend time with Christ to gain clarity, and then go out and live your day with purpose.
Remember, God is both the beginning and the end.
3. Invest in Real Relationships
In a world of digital "friends," it's crucial to understand that real relationships are different.
True friends are people you invest time, emotions, and actions in.
With Christ at the center, you can build strong bonds that support and encourage each other. These relationships will help you navigate life's challenges together.
4. Love Your Future Wife Now
Even as a young man, you can show love to your future wife by honoring and respecting all young women.
True love is sacrificial, and it's about putting others before yourself.
By valuing and respecting women, you're practicing the kind of love that makes a strong foundation for future relationships.
5. Be Strong, Courageous, Gentle, and Loving
Being a man means having both strength and gentleness.
Jesus is the perfect example of this balance. He was strong, courageous, and loving.
Remember that true strength is not just physical, but also about how you treat others.
Be brave, gentle, and full of love like Jesus.
Conclusion
So, young men, as you journey through life, remember these five points.
Discover your identity in Christ, plan your days with purpose, invest in real relationships, practice sacrificial love, and embody strength with gentleness.
You're on an amazing path, and with these principles, you'll become a man who makes a positive impact.
Grace and Peace!
