WHAT AM I?
I WONDER
"i wonder what part I will play in God's scheme of things. Will the way I live my life make any difference at all?" Everyone asks these questions at one time or another. The universe is so vast and time so infinite that it is difficult to believe that one life can change the history of mankind at all.
Yet each man and woman's life is important to God's plan. Like a wise and loving parent, God allows us to make our own decisions - and our own mistakes. It is up to each of us to make the wisest choices that we can in life. In this way we can contribute to the good of mankind.
