Easy, there are people still being saved. That is the reason
why He tarries and is longsuffering. He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentence.
When the last one that will be saved is saved, He'll come back. No one knows when this is except God. I think we in the Western world see the culture becoming more ungodly, and think the rapture is certainly just around the corner. We tend to forget there is a great big world, and people are still getting saved all over this Earth.

Hmm, I have been thinking about this most the day since I read it and now that I prepare for bed I still keep coming to the same answer. I would say that God should just do his will upon the earth and we should trust Him. If He wills not to destroy it just yet, that is because God is merciful and long-suffering. If He wills to destroy it even tomorrow, that is because God's judgement is true and God is supremely just and the avenger of the saints. How can anyone stand against God's will?

Do you only love people to get something out of it? I've already been saved from what I deserve. That's a sealed deal. I want to be more Christ like because I want to be like him, not to save myself from something I've already been freed from.

I would just throw my hands up and let him do his thing. How can I, a 15-year-old teenager who is still in school, convince an omnipotent being not to lay judgement on us? Besides, he clearly knows better than me, so I will just let him do what he wants to do. Everything will still be good in the end.

I dunno. There was this guy. He started his life in a waterproof basket floating on a river, but the daughter of the king found him and took him home to be her son, so he got 40 years of being the son of royalty. Then he noticed the soldiers were hurting people like him, so he killed a soldier and then ran away. Spent the next 40 years in a dessert, until a burning bush told him to go back and save his people. he was in his 100s and still begging God for his mercy on those folks. If God listens to some old guy, why wouldn't he listen to some young gal?
Well you can start by praying, I've been trying to get lyrics for an opera for an idol talent show, The first Opera, beleived to be written and composed and performed on canadian soil, is Coles et, something. But looking this up I found out that a hymn which is really quite popular, was written by a guy when he was between the ages of 12 and 16, in Montreal.
Canadian Hymns
My Jesus, I Love Thee, by William Ralph Featherstone (1846-1873), of Montreal, was likely written when he was converted at the age of 16.
God can do great things regardless of age, education, finances etc.
Don't underestimate what Jesus can use you for just because of your age.
