“If you openly declare that JESUS IS LORD and believe in your heart that God RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, you WILL BE saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who TRUSTS IN HIM will never be disgraced.” (Rom. 10:9-11)
This is what the Lord knows about you Dylan, “LORD, you have examined my heart and know EVERYTHING ABOUT ME. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know EVERYTHING I DO.” (Psa. 139:1-3)
This is how deeply He loves you Dylan, “You formed Dylan’s inward parts; You covered Dylan in his mother’s womb. I will praise You, for Dylan is fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that Dylan’s soul knows very well. Dylan’s frame was not hidden from You, When he was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw Dylan’s substance, being yet unformed. And IN YOUR BOOK ALL OF DYLAN’S DAYS WERE WRITTEN, The days fashioned for Dylan, When as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to Dylan, O God! How great is the sum of them!” (Psa. 139:13-17)
Here is the thing Dylan, God made a perfect for your life as He does for each of us. We have the choice to follow His plan or we can choose to do our own plan. God leaves that up to us, He just loves us and wants us to acknowledge Him for who He is and love Him because of who He is.
