GOD WILL NEVER ABANDON

GOD WILL NEVER ABANDON


If anyone truly desires to do the will of God
with all their heart,
God will never abandon them
but will constantly guide them along the paths of His will.

If someone really sets their hearts on the will of God,
God will find even a little child to illuminate
so as to communicate His will to that person.

But if a person does not truly desire the will of God,
even if they were to go to a prophet,
God would put it into the heart of that prophet
to give a response comparable to the deceit
that was in the seeker's heart.
