The narrow path.....





The day you give your life to Jesus Christ is the day your journey to eternity begins here on earth. It is a walk that will take through a lot of valleys, deserts and wildernesses but the joy of it all is that you will never ever be alone! Jesus Christ Himself will be with you every single step of the way. You will never be forsaken or forgotten. When Jesus makes a promise He keeps to it trust me!
The bible tells us that our path as Children of The Most High God is a narrow one. Why? Because the road is not a easy one and few are found on it. Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter through the narrow gate for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction but  small is the gate and narrow is the path that leads to life and only a few find it.
This tells us how difficult the journey is. It takes endurance and patience to successfully finish the race set before us. Sometimes when I am discouraged, I remember that the path I choose isn't an easy one and I just draw encouragement from The Word. Even when I stray away from The Path I run back to that gate, broken and humbled because I can't imagine my life without Jesus. Its just meaningless. There will be storms, the waves will rage, the days will be gloomy and the sun will be hidden but we must remember that The One who owns us is Alive and with us. May God help us all.  I will leave an excerpt from my daily devotional "As many as God has chosen, as many as Christ has redeemed, as many as the Spirit has called—as many as believe in Jesus, shall safely cross the dividing sea. We are not all safely landed yet: “Part of the host have crossed the flood—and part are crossing now.”
