You are growing up in the last days, and because of that, you must know what is true. Jesus is the Word of Life. His voice brings clarity where the world breeds confusion, and His Spirit gives you the strength to stand when the world collapses around you. If you stay close to Him, you will see the path ahead even when everything around you grow dark. But if you try to blend in with the world, the fog of its lies will settle over your mind, your ears will close to the truth, and sooner or later you will fall. The world cannot lead you—only Jesus can.
And because the world is growing darker, the battle for your heart will grow stronger. Darkness always looks for an opening, and one of its easiest entrances is hate. Do not let hate take root. Hate poisons the soul. It steals joy, peace, and the ability to hear God clearly. People may reject you, laugh at you, or wound you because you stand for truth—but let them go. Their opinion holds no weight in eternity. When your life is built on God’s Word, lies fall apart the moment they reach your ears. Do not shrink away from Him. Do not trade truth for acceptance. Nothing is more devastating than standing before the Lord knowing you denied Him in the moments that mattered.
My granddaughters, if the Lord waits to return and you one day marry, listen to me deeply. A strong, beautiful marriage grows when you help your husband walk in God’s will. Do not wear him down with constant complaints or demands. These things drain a man’s heart and weaken the home God wants to bless. Bring every hurt, longing, and unanswered question to the Lord in prayer. God Himself will build something lasting and good if you hold onto faith, hope, and love. Remember this always: a woman’s greatest strength is not her beauty or charm—it is her reverence for God and the quiet power of her prayer life.
My grandsons, be real men—men who walk with God and lead with steady courage. You do not lead your family by force or loud words. You lead by stepping out first, seeking God’s direction, and moving in the path He sets before you. When you walk with God, your family will trust your steps. Never neglect the Scriptures and never let prayer leave your life. Without them, you are like a man walking blind—unable to see danger, unable to see the future God wants to give you. Do not let this world chain you to a life of empty struggle with no joy, no peace, and no blessing. Many men trust in their own strength and lose everything because their pride blinds them. A true man rises every morning to meet with God, listens for His voice, and obeys what He says. Stand for truth even when you stand alone. Teach your sons to be men of God. Cherish your wife and daughters as the precious, gentle vessels God made them to be. And whenever someone crosses your path in need, help them without hesitation.
Children, remember this above everything else: Jesus is your Rock, your Salvation, and your mighty Fortress. If you let Him lead you, you will not be shaken. Trust Him with your whole heart. Listen for His voice. Pour out everything inside you to Him. He will be your strength, your shelter, and your safety in the days ahead.
