While I am always looking for ‘likes’ on social media, the real hard question for me is: Does Jesus like me?

Am I living like He instructed me? That is, “to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age?” Titus 2:12 Am I? Or how about this: “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another…Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Col 3:12-13 Or perhaps this one: “Do not complain, brethren against one another.” James 5:9 Maybe this last one: “…I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think.” Romans 12:3

Oh Lord, have mercy and help me be more like You so that in the end I may receive a like and “Thumbs Up!” from You. Glory!

God in His wisdom does not allow us to know where the road in life will take us. That seems gracious as well. For often I have wondered who would take the roads we are on if we knew beforehand. Yet, at the same time, we do have many choices of which roads we take in life. There again is Gods grace, as He gives us ability to choose.

I have prayed ever since my children were little that they would choose the good road of Gods plan. Even those roads do not guarantee a smooth ride. Yet God promises He is always there for those that call on Him.

Our old neighbor had a wise saying: “The road ain’t so long that it don’t have a bend in it somewhere.”

Good advice to carry along our road of life.
