“Many people grow up in a Christian environment but never truly discover God’s personal plans for their lives.”
Luke was living it up. It was his third weekend away from home. Three Mondays previous he’d said goodbye to his mom and dad and climbed aboard a train headed for a far-away city where he would attend university. Luke had been brought up in a Christian home. He’d attended Sunday School almost every Sunday for the past two decades. Yes, he did believe there was a God; he’d been taught much about his love and mercy. Luke knew all the Bible stories – Adam and Eve, Noah and the ark, David and Goliath and Jesus and the cross – but he’d never really made them his own. Far from home and out from under the oversight of mom and dad, Luke was now free to be himself. Or was he?
Many people grow up in a Christian environment but never truly discover God’s personal plans for their lives. As parents, we teach our children the ways of God and expose them to God’s plan for salvation, believing that they have accepted Jesus as Lord and saviour. The truth is, no one can have a walk with God based on someone else’s faith. Each one of us is personally accountable to God. Each one of us needs to personally discover God’s love. I cannot get into heaven on my dad’s faith.
Years later, well after Luke had left university, he finally found that his life was empty without a real relationship with God though Jesus. It was during a crisis in his life, when he had nowhere else to turn, that he called on the name of the God of his father. It was then that Luke found his own faith. It was at a time when he could no longer rely on his father’s prayers that he personally prayed to the God of his father. Luke found his own faith. It was then that he found that God was exceedingly gracious and forgiving. It was at a time of need that Luke discovered, God knows the plans he has for him; personal plans of hope for an abundant future.

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY
I realise that I cannot base my walk with God on my father’s faith; I need a personal encounter with the Lord Almighty
“Dear God, I realise now that you are real and that your love for me is not some theoretical Bible principle. I realise now that, without a real and personal walk with you, I am lost! My parents taught me about you and showed me your love, but I never really accepted it as my own. I realise that I cannot base my walk with God on my father’s faith; I need a personal encounter with the living God. So, dear Lord, I admit to my sins and rebellion and ask your forgiveness. I have sinned against you, alone. I believe Jesus died and rose again and I now confess him as my own personal Lord and saviour. Come into my life, Jesus as I choose to give my life to you! Thank you for the plans you have for me. Help me to be a real God-tracker. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”
