Encouraging Teenage Girls that Christ's Love is Better Than Any Boy's Love

Through Letter Writing: 2 Examples

Jared Moore
When I was a youth pastor, I would often write letter to encourage those in my youth ministry. Sometimes there were girls that seemed to be looking for love, thinking that they could find this in the passing world. Here are two examples of letters I would write to these girls encouraging them that Christ's love is better than life.

Hey girl. How is high school life going? Old person life is going pretty good here. I just wanted to write you and let you know that I prayed for you today. I prayed that you would find the love, that you are searching for, in Jesus Christ, and that you would follow Him all the days of your life. As you grow older and continue to date, please know that you will never find a love such as Christ's. As I date, I know more and more, that as much as my girlfriend loves me, Christ loves me a thousand times more. Oh, the unmatched love of Jesus Christ, may we never search anywhere else for this love. As you continue in this life, may the unconditional love of Jesus Christ be more evident to you with each passing day. I love you and if you ever need anything, my door is always open. Be good.

In Him,

[Girl's Name],

Hey girl. How are you doing this week? I'm doing good. God is so faithful to me. I just wanted to write you again to let you know that I prayed for you today. I prayed that you will spend time with God daily, and that you would find happiness only in Jesus Christ. These words in these letters, do they affect you? Am I writing for the sake of writing, or am I writing because I deeply care about your soul? One day all of us will stand before Jesus Christ, and we will hear one of two statements, "depart from me, I never knew you," or "job well done, my good and faithful servant". Only those who have a relationship with Jesus Christ will be saved from hell. Do you have this relationship? If you don't, then you don't understand what you're missing. I had searched for years for happiness in other things, and I never found lasting happiness until I gave my life to Jesus Christ. May God bless you based on your relationship with Jesus. I love you in Christ, and if you ever need anything, please contact me. Be good.

In Him,

[Leader's Name]
