HERE COMES THE PROMISE, "AND HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATH." THAT PASSAGE HAS GUIDED MY LIFE FOR OVER TWO DECADES. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO GUARD YOUR HEART FROM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THINGS FOR YOURSELF, BUT LET THAT PASSAGE BE A GUIDE TO YOU. YOU AND I SERVE THE ONE WHO KNOWS THE END FROM THE BEGINNING.
