Make Way

Instructions

Was there a time when you wanted to go somewhere and because of things scattered along the way you couldn’t get through?  Maybe, someone, you have been longing to see knocked on the door, but you couldn’t get through to open the door because of the things you left scattered along the way to the door.  God is always there, and to get to know Him even more, we must work harder daily to clear the path and remove our bad habits and shortcomings.

Instructions
