The bible says, actually Jesus said, "who is my mother, and father, brother, those who hear the word and obey it."
There are people right now, who are hiding their faith in a REal God, Yahweh, from their parents. For teenagers where they found no life in places, but emptyness, places of no hope, they see a different thing. The different thing that the Lord speaks about when he says, "I will do a new thing in your life."
Teens need this hope, but they are hiding their faith in Jesus as a secret.
This is not going to work. I'll tell you why, Mark 8:38 says, "if you are ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, he will be ashamed of you.
Luke 9:26 tells the same thing.
The Lord says, "we are the head and not the tail. You don't stick your head in the sand, and hide your light, your faith, your love for the one who loved you.
Matthew 5:15 says this.
""NO man hideth his light under a bushel."
It also says your enemies will be those of your own household.
If you see the light, you are being called by Jesus, he has come to your door's heart, and is knocking. At this tender age, don't shut him out, as you grow older, you will harden from things in life, as they are only going to rip into you like a current unawares.
There are no inbetweens, lukewarmness, means neither here or there, just everywhere, is not what the Father wants for you. He wants you to be rooted and grounded in the word, read it, grow, come out of the hiding place of being ashamed, take a stand to live forhim. If it seems impossible, than the greatest weapon you have now, is prayer to a God, who hears you in secret, and one day will reward you openly, for he loves you, and wants you to be his daughter, and bless your life.
you werent made to be abused, unloved, neglected, and starved of love, the real love that only a parent could give from a heart knitted together with God.
This missing ingredient of what am I living for, what was I born for, is not the answer that you were born to be abused, neglected, treated like trash, and let your years go by till you grow old, and never find lives meaning for you.
