LIFE IS AMAZe-ING!

 

Life's journey can resemble "a maze" with its unexpected twists, turns, walls, and road blocks.   God seldom takes us in a straight line to our destinies. That being said, life can also be absolutely "amazing" with tremendous learning opportunities, (sometimes painful), along the way.  

I am one of those people who will take a shortcut by dodging excess traffic lights whenever it is feasible to save time.  In agreeing to go through one of those corn fields in the Fall that had been turned into a maze, I found no shortcuts.  It was not fun!  Thankfully, I was with some other people who thought it was, and found the way out. 

However, on the journey of faith and our redemption to God through Christ, there are no shortcuts.  There is only one way.  There is no redemption or relationship with God without Christ.  Jesus said to him, I am the way, and truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.  John 14:5 ESV   Sometimes we experience unspeakable joys and triumps along the way and at other times it can be *very lonely but with an expectant,  joyful end...eternity with God!  PTL!  That makes it all worth it! 

Blessings.

*Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.  Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.               Matthew 7:13,14. ESV
