You will Answer by Reba Mitchell Along the pathway gf life, manytimeswehearacall.and wefail to answer, we say wait a little longer. It'snotalways the call of mother, dad, or someother person we fail to hoar. Many times people turn a deaf ear to God, or say not now let me have my time and then I will give m'y heart to you and serve you. There is a call we wHI answer, when God calls and says this is your time to meet your destination, ready or not we will go to meet the deeds in life we have done good or bad. Don't put off the call of God. Today is the day of salvation. Tomorrow may be too late. Yesterday has passed, you are here today. This is your opportunity, tomorrow may never be yours to embrace.
