I chose following the commandments

The moment you make the right choice, God blesses you.

All of us have many dreams, projects, desires and goals, but to achieve them it’s necessary to go through a path where we will find two types of friends: one of them wants us well, meanwhile the other envies us. That who wants us well is Jesus Christ. He roots for our success, He teaches us how to love, protects us against the evil and furthermore, He gave his on life for our salvation. He does everything for us, but the only thing He can’t do, is taking a decision for us. Jesus shows the path but whether we will follow it or not it’s our decision. “For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws, then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.” Deuteronomy 30:16.

Jesus can do everything, all power is on His hands, but follow him it’s your choice, because God gave us the free will. God is surely for you, He is always trying to show you the path that leads to the best for your life, but, once again, you are the one who makes calls.

He made you a promise that if you abide with his commands and keep them in your heart, you will be blessed. What God promises He fulfills so that you have do your part, too. He watches over us, expecting us to follow His ways and so be blessed for it. Unfortunately human beings tend to cling to the pleasures of the body and assume this action as correct. But as Jesus made a promise to those who follow him, He also made another for those who don’t, by saying: “But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.” Deuteronomy 30:17-18. The moment you decide following God you receive your blessing.
