I have this little book of love letters from God that I read to the girls at work before they go to sleep. This morning I was reading through some of them and this one really caught my attention, so I thought I would share.
My Beloved,
There will always be two roads before you, My love. The popular road is easy, its bumps worn smooth by the wandering crowds. This road appears safe simply because so many have already ventured around its curves nd shuffled down into its valleys. What the crowds don’t understand is that this road is filled with regret and guilt, and it ultimately leads to death. This is the road that leads away from Me, your King. If you find yourself on the wrong path, don’t lose heart–just cry out to Me and i will find you. I won’t join you on this destructive detour, but I will lead you back to the road that leads to life again–the road your feet were created to walk on. Throughout My Word you will find signposts that will give you wisdom and direction. So keep reading and walking, My princess, and you will begin to discover the real joy of the journey of life.
Love,
Your King and the Way, the Truth, and the Life
I have attempted the easy road and along the way experienced more frustration, confusion, and depression than I ever imagined. That path may look clear and you will definitely have company but the truth is that the people on it are internally and eternally lost. Its hard to see it that way until you among their company and need help and you realize that not one of them can point you in the right direction. They are all internally crying out for help and direction just as you are.
I am a living proof that God can lead you back to the right road. But that can only happen when you begin to cry out to him for help, instead of seeking help in all the people that surround you. If He leads you down a road that seems scary or lonely….think about how lonely the other road felt, even though you may have been surrounded by people. Trust Him, let Him lead “The Lord your God will go ahead of you. He will neither fail nor forsake you.” I promise you won’t be disappointed……..and you will soon realize that your courage is contagious and others will follow.
