Do Yourself A Favor, Follow GOD'S Road!

It would please GOD if children, teens, and adults would follow the ROAD that GOD tells us daily. The people in our beautiful world would be much better off. GOD has dreams, and plans that HE desires to see fulfilled in HIS children. We must be obedient and ask GOD, JESUS, and the HOLY SPIRIT to do whatever it takes for us to follow the ROAD GOD tells us. When we obey GOD, we will not have to beg GOD to meet our needs, guess what HE will. When we follow GOD'S ROAD, there are some people that HE will gently remove from our lives, and hindrances that HE never intended to be on our ROAD. GOD has not promised to provide for our needs when we walk a road of our own choosing. Along this ROAD are the people GOD want you to meet, the books HE wants us to read, jobs, homes, all based on one word, obedience. Everyone is born with a purpose, and we encourage young people of today, to stop saying you only want to live to be 20 or 30, leave the years to GOD, and fulfill His dreams and plans for your life. Grab your BIBLE, and read Jeremiah 29:11. You have a reason to live!
