So you feel like you’ve been walking a long time huh?

I sense your frustration.

I can tell that you are looking ahead as you gaze down the road,

And you see more of the same.

…The same difficulties.

…The same problems.

…The same routine.

I sense that you want to know where exactly you are headed,

And how long it’s going to take to arrive.

I understand that.

But keep walking.

Follow Me.

There are lots of roads.

I’m very proud of you for choosing the narrow road to which I’ve led you when you could have chosen that broad one.

But know that I also see you walking My road while straining your neck to see what’s happening on the road across the way.

I sense that you wonder.

But let me assure you…

Their road is not for you.

Some of the roads you are curious about lead straight to

…unhappiness

…unfulfillment

…and heartache

You can’t see it but I do.

Other roads that intrigue you seem wonderful from your vantage point, but I can tell you that if you look closer, you will see the potholes.

I sense that you have questions.

… is it worth it?

… what’s the point?

… why am I here?

I have an answer.

Follow Me.

That’s how I work.

My job is to show you to the road.

Your job is follow Me there and then… walk.

Start Walking

Follow Me.

Every now and then I’ll give you a road sign to let you know that you are on the right path.

In the absence of new directions, just keep heading in the direction I gave you last.

The longer you walk with Me, the more sure you will be that My directions make perfect sense.

But you won’t learn that I know where I’m going unless you experience that truth.

So follow Me.

You won’t be disappointed.

“Then Jesus told his disciples, If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” Matthew 16:24

“But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:14
