WOO HOOOOO It's Friday and I'm sending out big hugs to all today. You all have an awesome day. I love y'all!!!
If I will that he remain til I come, what is that to you? You follow me. (John 21:22)
Our Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us, and it is our responsibility to live out that plan in obedience and faithfulness. What He plans for another person's life and how that other person lives our God's plan is the business only of the Lord and that person. We are to encourage and help others, but we are not the policeman of their plan and purpose. God is more than able to deal with each person individually, and our role is to trust Him completely with our lives and with the lives of those we love. Replace the word "You" above with your name. With mine, it would be "Carmen, follow me". Once I do that, my eyes are totally upon Him. Oh how often I begin looking to the side seeing what others are doing wrong and then my eyes are off Him and I am no longer following him, but my path. Help me Lord to always follow you.

Thanks Carman--I stole your devotional as I was reading it. do not be surprised if I use it someplace else on this board (not as my own words, but quoted). This is a wonderful message that needs to be passed along to Many people, believers and non-believers alike.

Hey there Gary. Please use anything that God gives me, but don't quote me LOL. I want to never be in myself when I type these precious words, but I pray that God gives me every letter to type. You are free to use anything you ever see that I type. In fact, I am sure that is why He gives us these Words...to share. Thanks so much Gary!!!!! You have an awesome awesome day!!!!
Thanks--I won't attribute you directly--I just want to make sure people know I did not plagiarize the quote. I'm kind of sensitive about that although I probably do it by accident at times.
I don't want to be like our Vice-President--Joe Biden.
