Matthew 7:7-11


7-11 “Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This isn’t a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in. If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing. You’re at least decent to your own children. So don’t you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?

Recap from last night:
God loves you right now... not if you do this and that, but right now.  All you need to do to get closer to Him is to truly want to and to try.  There are things you can do to help you make good choices like surround yourself with people who are also trying to make good choices, paying close attention to the tv shows you watch and the music you listen to making sure the messages they send you are encouraging you to make good choices, not bad ones.  But always remember, even if you make a mistake, God still loves you and can't wait to forgive you when  you ASK!
