Misery loves company

As I was working outside today, I started to ponder the question that often enters my train of thought. Why do people sin? I am not by any means saying that I don't sin. However I do try and live a moral life style.  Where I try to make good choices.

I have a brother that is just a year older than I am. We have been close throughout the years and have always gotten along.  My brother moved out as soon as he turned 18 saying it was for "bigger and better things" ( I cried)  needless to say that didn't work out all too well. We are human. We are going to make mistakes. I think that the way you deal with those mistakes can make or break you. I am not going to tell all that is going on in his life. I will say that life brings many challenges and temptations and in every circumstance you have a choice! Will you live the way the world says is right? Or, will you let God lead you to the path He has planned for you?

There is a Christmas song called O Come O come Emmanuel and the verse reads:
Make safe the way that leads on high, And close the path to misery. Most of us are familiar with the saying misery loves company. If you make the choice to let God direct your path, the path to misery is closed. It's no longer a choice. Some people have a hard time letting someone else make their plans. I wish they could just feel all the burdens being lifted when you make the decision to follow Christ. His plan is perfect. =)


Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Do you have a plan for your future? It may even be a great plan. I want you to try and comprehend that God has an even better one for you!
