God loves you and has a great plan for your life. But, without His help, you will not know the plan. You need a close friendship with Him to know His plan and let Him know that you love Him too. None of us is ALL that God wants us to be. This keeps us from really knowing God as our close friend and finding out about His great love for us. (Romans 3:23)
You might try to make your own special plan for your life. But living without God would be like walking around at night without a flashlight. You cannot find your way alone. (Romans 3:10-12) Jesus can help you find God's plan. God came to Earth through His Son Jesus, to teach us His plan. because we did not accept Jesus as God's Son, He died on a cross. He died for us. (Romans 5:6-8) But, God made Him alive again to live forever.Jesus is alive today. Jesus will help you to know God. Jesus will help you to live like Him. When you let Jesus direct your life, you can live forever. (Romans 6:23)
How can you find God's plan for your life?
1. First, you must be sorry for not being all that God wants you to be. (Acts 3:19)
2. Tell God that you are turning away from your old way of living and will
always try to live the way that Jesus teaches.
3. Believe that God sent His Son Jesus to die for you.
4. Trust that Jesus is alive today. Let Him direct your life so that you can
become what God wants you to be. (Romans 10:9-10)
Now tell others about your choice to follow Jesus.
Tell your pastor, parent or other adult. Now you know who Jesus is!
