"PEOPLE BE LIKE BUT, YOU CHANGE FOR A BETTER"

          "When he came to his senses, he said, "How many of my Father's

             hired men have food to spare, and here I am Starving to death! 

             I will set out and go back to my father And say to him: "Father,

                        I have sinned against heaven and Against you."

                                                     LUKE 15:16-18

What would you call a person who sees the road sign clearly marking the highway to the right destination yet deliberately goes a different direction?

           The name "Jonah" might come to mind. This man. Knew exactly where he was supposed to go but chose ti turn his back on God's direction.   

           After he boarded a ship , a great storm ensued. Not long after, Jonah finally recognized that he was the problem. Jonah's detour resulted in unexpected calamity. But God gave him a second chance, and he got it right this time and went God's way.

          In the New Testament we read about Jesus telling the story of a young man who took a detour that landed him in disgrace, misery, and poverty. Jesus said that the turning point for the prodigal son was "when he came to himself." He changed direction and headed the way God wanted him to go.

         Many people perhaps including you have missed God's best. Instead of living with failure, it's give to say, "Ok, how do i get where God wants me to go from whete I am today?"

         You can't always retrace yours steps, but you can get to where you should go from where you are. Change directions and it can change your life. God and your family will be more forgiving than you think.
