1 Kings 18:21
“You are responsible for the choices you
make. God is mindful of you and will help you make good choices, even if your
family and friends use their agency in ways that are not right. Have the moral
courage to stand firm in obeying God’s will, even if you have to stand alone.
As you do this, you set an example for others to follow.
“While you are free to choose your course of action, you are not
free to choose the consequences. Whether for good or bad, consequences follow
as a natural result of the choices you make” (For the Strength of Youth [booklet,
2011], 2).
