Do As You'Re Told

DO as you are told,

 

We moan about our hardships,
But hardships are mostly brought about by ourselves.
You can say “but I didn’t cause it!”
Look really hard!
Did you say YES when you should have said NO?
Did you receive instead of giving?
Did you turn away instead of listening?
Instead of helping, did you say “I cant” ?

We have so many choices in life.
The only time we make the right choice,
Is when we listen to what God is telling us.
Sometimes we answer, BUT ill just…..
Or ill do it a little later,
Im so busy right now, I don’t have the time.
What if I fall flat on my face!!!!!!

Just listen,
DO as you are told,
We ARE the children of GOD
We MUST obey His Will.
God will not fail us!
Take that step and walk out in faith!
He has a plan for you.
Just open your eyes, open your ears, and open your heart.
Joy and happiness and peace will come…………..
