A Different Road

"He wants so much for you to experience the fullness of His plan by aligning your goals and vision with His plans for you."
--TW p66

I got this incredible 'light bulb moment' earlier where I got a clear sense of what 'the narrow path' is. Maybe this is common sense to everyone else, but I'm a bit slow with these things. The 'narrow path' is whatever God's will for me is. The wider path is anything outside that will...doesn't mean it is necessarily bad, just not what I'm being called at the moment. It is the path of God's provision. It is about walking in relationship with Him.


A Different Road

I’ve traveled long
I’ve traveled hard
And stumbled many times along the way
I’ve bruised my knees a lot
And turned my back on God
And seen His mercy
I’ve been quick to judge
And slow to learn
So many times I’ve gotten in the way
I think I know so much
I’ve questioned God enough
But still He loves me

So now I’ll walk a different road
I want to see Him there before I even go
I’ve run ahead and gone too slow
I’ve got to be still now
Wait upon His will now
This time,
It’s gonna be His time

Don’t want to live without
The peace that comes to me
When I am by His side
I’ve known the freedom there
Can’t find it anywhere
But in Christ Jesus
I believe He’s got a plan
Everything in His time
I may not always understand
Everything in His time
Everything in His time

The Narrow Gate

USCCB - (NAB) - June 23, 2009:

"'Enter through the narrow gate;
for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction,
and those who enter through it are many.
How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life.
And those who find it are few.'"


Often being a disciple of Jesus means walking a path that is not popular.
