Chapter 7

Have you ever thought about how ridiculous the notion of palm reading is? To actually believe that someone can look at your hand, or any part of your body, and predict your future is absurd. Only God knows what the future holds, and He has designed a future uniquely for you. God wants nothing more than for you to fully experience the life He has planned for you. But to live your life to the fullest, you must first give Him all of you—your heart, dreams, priorities, desires, and, yes, even your palm.

Your future starts in image one second.

Have you asked God what His desires are for your future? He has created you and has customized a future solely for you.

Write a prayer and ask God to show you His plans for your life.

Then pray daily that God will lead you to stay on track with His plan.

Getting into Heaven isn't about being a good person. Because, by God's standards, none of us is good.

image “There is no one righteous, not even one.”

Romans 3:10

The Bible explains that all of us are sinners, and because of that, we are separated from God.

image For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Romans 3:23

Because of our sin, we deserve death. Not just a physical death, but also a spiritual one. Meaning that when life is over for us on earth, we deserve to be separated forever from God.

image For the wages of sin is death.

Romans 6:23

image

image But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8

While on earth Jesus made it clear that believing in Him is the only way to God—the only way to Heaven.

image Jesus said, “I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me.”

John 14:6 (The Message)

The Bible clearly spells it out for us:

  1. Confess that you believe in Him and that you are lost without Him.

  2. Believe in your heart that He is who He claimed to be: the Son of God.

image If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
Romans 10:9-10

Can you remember a time when you have prayed and asked Jesus to take over your life? If not, pray this prayer:

image
I believe in you. I believe you created me and have a plan for my life. I believe your Son Jesus died for me on the cross and came back to life. I give you my life right now. Forgive me of my past mistakes and take over my life.

If you prayed this prayer and really mean it, then you have just crossed over from death to life. You have just made the most important decision of your life. Jesus is now living in you!

Giving your life to Jesus isn't the end.

It is only the beginning.image
