Does God Care What I Do With My Life?

By Billy Graham, Tribune Media Services

Q: I just graduated from college and I don't have any idea what I want to do with my life. Right now, I'm signed up to go to graduate school, but I can't say it really interests me. Does God care what I do, like a friend of mine says He does? I don't want to waste my life. - M.J.

A: Yes, God does care what you do with your life and He doesn't want you to waste it. The reason He cares what you do with your life is because He loves you and wants what is best for you.

This is why the most important advice I can give you is to seek God's will about your future. God has a plan for your life - so why not seek it? This doesn't mean God will reveal everything to you all at once - but He will reveal the next step to you, and that's all you really need to know.

How do you find God's will? First, put your life into His hands by turning to Jesus Christ and committing yourself to Him. When you do, you become a child of God - and God becomes your heavenly Father. And because He is your heavenly Father, you can come to Him and ask Him to help you as you face the future. Jesus said, "If you... know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!" (Matthew 7:11).

Pray, therefore, about God's will for your future. Study the Bible also, to learn what kind of person God wants you to be and what He wants your goals to be. In addition, seek the advice of others who know you. Then step out in faith and trust God to guide you, even if the way seems unclear.

Dear MJ

Let me share this verse to you: Pls read

Jeremiah 6:16
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.

Good day

I am Dominik Dumaraos from the Philippines... a member of the ONLY TRUE CHURCH OF GOD which is in the Bible... THE CHURCH OF GOD... presided over by THE ONLY SENSIBLE PREACHER of our time... his name is BRO ELI SORIANO.

Compare him to other preachers to know who really is the man of God. we are always up for that challenge. Dont just believe preachers holding the Bible to look as if he is a man of God. TEST THEIR SPIRIT (I John 4:1).

AND WE ARE SUBMITTING OUR GROUP TO TEST SPECIALLY OUR PREACHER.

Study with us... and learn the correct teachings of God sent thru our Bro. Eli, the only preacher in the universe who answers questions BIBLICALLY,,, LIVE!!! re faith AROUND THE WORLD.

Thanks be to God
