Once upon a time, a little lightning bug was stuck inside a mason jar, just blinking away. He was completely focused on being the brightest and getting everyone to notice him...until now. The jar was opened, and the little bug is flying away. Every bug seems to be flying toward a bright light near a porch. The light is making a buzz. Instead, our little friend is going big: he's flying for the moon.

Thought from the Retro Bible: You Aren't a Loner
"1 Help, Lord, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men." -Psalm 12:1, NIV
Ever feel like you are the only person you know that is trying to follow God? Don't let that discourage you! Someday, your faithfulness will be rewarded by God. He promises this.(Paraphrased from Revolution: The Bible for Teen Guys).
Don't fret about being alone. Lots of Christians feel this way. That's because we live in a world full of Satan and his promises to the masses of wealth, power and happiness. The thing is, his promises are not only shaky, but earthly. Eventually, we will all die. That's a generally accepted fact. The question is: will all of what you do on earth matter after death? Only one accomplishment matters, and that is that you believe in your Lord and Savior. If you do this, you will desire to glorify God, and that is the point of our lives. After all, wouldn't it be great to live for something bigger than ourselves? God is really, really big.
