Bishop Celso Junior, YPG Coordinator Worldwide, gathered the youths of YPG Texas to orient them about decisions. Bishop Celso Junior mentioned life decisions are similar to a credit\u00a0card with a balance due.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Life is a complex journey, full of choices and decisions. Bishop Celso Junior compared it to a credit card, where we have the freedom to make decisions, but must always be mindful of the consequences they carry. Just like a credit card bill that eventually arrives, life presents us with a balance due for the decisions we make today. Therefore, it is crucial to approach our choices with care and consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bishop Celso Junior shared the below Bible verse with the youths of YPG Texas. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u201cRejoice, O young man, in your youth, and in your early years may your heart do you good; walk in the path of your heart and the desire of your eyes; but know that in all these things God will bring you into judgment.\u201d (Ecclesiastes 11:9)<\/strong><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every choice we make in life has consequences. Some decisions may bring immediate joy, while others may lead to long-term repercussions. Just as we must repay the balance on a credit card, life demands that we face the consequences of our actions. Whether they are positive or negative, we cannot escape the outcome of our choices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join the YPG Sundays at 1 PM at any <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/universalchurchusa.org\/en\/locations\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Universal Church near you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
