Most of the time, being young is a blessing. You can make mistakes and nobody would blame you. You have the energy to try all things new. You have the physical strength.
But sometimes, being young can be a curse, especially when too many new things in life try to bog you down.
Being young offers you many opportunities to try new stuff. But one has to be careful to not fall into the trap of burning out oneself, so much so that time alone with God gets sacrificed.
Here is an exercise you can consider doing. Write down how you spend your time each day.
How many hours do you put in your studies?
How many hours do you spend on the Internet or TV?
How many hours do you spend in church serving ministry?
And how many minutes do you give to God, alone?
Remember, there is always a season for what you are supposed to do. In Ecclesiastes 3:1, it is said that “there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven”.
In different seasons of our youth, we are called to do different things.
So be focused.
Learn to say no to new things if God does not give the yes.

人生的季节
人们常说，年轻就是本钱；年轻是种恩典。年轻人犯错常常能得到他人宽恕，更有那无穷无尽的精力和力量。但是，年轻人也可能因为周遭围绕着太多新事物，而受诱惑以至迷失方向，年轻也因此成为一个人的咒诅。
青春带给我们许多尝试新事物的机会，但千万要小心哦，不要因为太过积极尝试新事物而忽略了与神独处的时间。
大家不防试试，按照下列问题思考应该如何分配时间，就能事倍功半！
你在课业方面花多少时间？
你有多少时间是用于上网及观看电视节目的？
你花多少时间服侍上帝？
你与神独处的时间又有多少呢？
切记，每一个季节都有每一个季节需完成的事。
“凡 事 都 有 定 期 ， 天 下 万 务 都 有 定 时 。”传 道 书 3:1
在年轻的季节里，神对我们的生命都有不同的安排。仰望上帝，寻求生命的命定，
若神不点头，我们也不能点头。我们要学习拒绝上帝不接受的事物。
