Is you.

I started volunteering in tech at my church, freshman year of high school. I started on spotlight, then I was moved to CG, video engineer, switcher, camera, and then back to video. I was so afraid to move up and try something new, but people pushed me to do it, so I did. 2 years later, I am now tech director. I lead, teach, and bring in new people to do what I used to do in tech. I'm also a part of Potential Studios, I met such an amazing group of people, and I love all of them with my heart. I never thought I'd be walking around the lobby of main, inviting teenagers over to our youth building, it's something that I've always wanted to do, I finally ended up taking the steps to do it. 
You can do anything you want to do. God planted you on this Earth, so you can live out his purpose for you. He wants you to live a happy and successful life with him in your heart, but the only person holding you back from that is you. You have the choice every single day, every single moment of your life to choose what you want to do, you have that power. God wants you to be happy with him, walking the path that his son once walked in, loving everyone even though some people despised him, he still loved them. 
People around you may be brining you down, maybe your parents, lovers, friends, family members, even your mentors. But the thing is that you have the choice to listen to it, it's all you in the end. If someone says something rude about you, or even to you, realize that God says something so much greater. The only person to choose which voice you listen to is you, you can hear out what God says about you and that he loves you, or you can listen to the hate of this world and what the world has to say about you. 
I remember freshman year of high school I tried to commit suicide, I was so upset with what was going on around me I thought I could just end it and walk away. But do you know what God told me? He told me that my time on Earth wasn't up yet, that I had so much potential that I had left inside of me that there was no way that I was going to die on that hospital bed, that no matter what I was dealing with there was nothing that I could not overcome. That day I prayed for the first time, and I begged God not to let me die. I know that when I look back on that moment, he did answer my prayer. For such a long time I felt like he wasn't there to actually talk to me, in reality he was there every single step of the way.
You see, the only person holding you back from everything, is you. I was holding myself back from such a greater potential that was within me, and I was so afraid to let it out. I thought that my life had no greater value so I decided to try to take matters into my own hands. You may be feeling the same way, you may be feeling that you don't even have a life planned for you. You're the only one thinking that, but what God is telling you right now is that he has such an amazing future planned out for you. He wants you to seek him and to be happy with no one but him, and then your whole life will fall into place the way you want it to be, the way you've always dreamed of. God sent his son to die on the cross, so that we can have an eternal life with Him, so that we can live freely and happily even if we sin. So now, it's time for you to pick up that cross and not be ashamed of it. Don't limit yourself to anything just because you think that you cannot do it. Jesus did everything, he lived his life out according to God's plan for him. You are your own greatest fear, the devil cannot even compare what you can do to yourself. God banished the devil into hell, where he will spend the rest of his life for eternity. You are your greatest enemy, you determine what you want to do with your life. God has your perfect life planned out for you, but you're the one who gets to decide to life in his path, or ditch it.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
