. . . I don't claim that I know everything about life. But one thing I am certain that apart from the love and mercies of Christ—I AM NOTHING. " But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."(Galatians 6:14). All to JESUS I surrender. . .all to Thee my Blessed Savior. . .I surrender all. Thank YOU my Precious LORD JESUS for all Your blessings in my life. I love YOU, and thank YOU for loving me first. Forever Yours--Erlinda Mejia Olson

Finding Your Way

By: Erlinda Mejia-Olson

ISAIAH 35:8 ~ "And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it."

Driving down a dark road at night during a snowstorm isn't a pleasant experience. Landmarks are hidden behind the dark and the snow. Even sometimes disguising as sleet(transparent frozen raindrops mixed with snow), and it is easy to get lost. Sometimes the only way you know you're on the road is to follow the tire tracks of the car ahead of you.

In direct contrast, God's way is clear and direct. One method He uses to show you His way is through the Bible. In it He tells you exactly what to do and where to go to reach your final destination--HEAVEN. God has given you a map so you won't get lost, delayed, or wandered around.

Read, memorize, and remind yourself of His directions every day. God posts many "No Tresspassing" signs for your protection, to point you back to the main road and to get you where you're going.

Are you lost? If you're unsure as to where you're going-STOP! Ask the Lord Jesus to direct your path (Proverbs 3:5-6). Receive Him as your Lord and Personal Savior - let Him be your constant and ever living compass.
