Highway to Hell

 Many people miss out on who God is and his gift because they do not want to submit, answer, or be accountable to anyone. Everything is their way or the highway. They think God is a tyrant or dictator, which if he was they would not have free will. God is not demanding but loving, forgiving. He wants to be your God, father, protector, provider, and healer. Everything that you need He wants to supply. He wants you to be like him and follow his ways {And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Luke 9:23}. Jesus is the example. God is not about do as I say not as I do. He is a do as I do God. 

Like a father to a child you can see some of the father's ways in the child, some good some bad. No matter how many times the father says do as I say not as I do, the child learns from the father's ways. God does not want to ruin your life. He wants to make it better. {For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9} 

God never fussed or cussed, pouted or belittled us. He loves us but not because of what we do. He loves us because he created us. Only God has the right to say, 'after all I've done this is how you treat me?'.  We, in our selfishness, treat each other like everyone owes us and we owe no one. This is not God's way. Let's not forget we will all stand before God someday. Will he say to you well done my good and faithful servant or depart from me I never knew you. Choose life, choose love, choose God's way, choose Jesus cause our way is the highway to hell.
