God is in control

Many think of God as being a dictator, a manipulator and stern, ready to judge and punish.


They feel there is no room for mercy, no new chances, no clean slate. God is ready to strike lightning when things are not done His way.


Let me disillusion this thought...


I have never met anyone so merciful, so gracious, so patient, so understanding, so compassionate, so Loving as God.


Hasn't He loved us so much that He gave up His only Son Jesus to take up the penalty for our sins? Would you do the same for a world that rejects and hates you?


God knows what makes you happy. He knows what satisfies your soul. Not temporarily, but eternally.


He knows what makes you sad. He knows what is bugging you. And He knows how to 'unbug' you.


HE KNOWS IT ALL!
HE WANTS YOU TO ENJOY LIFE.


In order to enjoy life fully, He directs your path and leads you through ways and places that sometimes seem mysterious. Sometimes it would even feel like you've lost control.


Don't be afraid, GOD IS IN CONTROL.


But while He is in control, God gives you the opportunity to be in charge of your own life. He gives you the choice to do whatever you want to make of it. He gave you a free will.

He says 'enjoy life the fullest. Do whatever you want to do. But know that I am watching you. I will judge your choices to direct you.'


What a wonderful God we have!


Choose to follow Him, so you can enjoy life the fullest.

Ecclesiastes 11:9

Young people, enjoy your youth. Be happy while you are still young. Do what you want to do, and follow your heart's desire. But remember that God is going to judge you for whatever you do.
