God Is My Guide

Last week I invited my friend to church. She was telling me about all the churches that she’s been to and how she’s trying to find a church to be in and learn about God.

Without God and without the gospel, I would be very lost just like her, trying to find a church and even trying to find answers to solve my problems, because I wouldn’t have a guide in my life. All I know is that without my guide, without God, I wouldn’t be here right now.

And knowing that having God with you, wherever you go, is the best thing that anyone could have. That’s why I really enjoy sharing the gospel with everyone around me.

I truly believe that just inviting others to church is a very important thing. You may think they’re not going to accept it, but sometimes things may change. It could end up being better than you could ever imagine.
