Many people realize this and teach this. Such a mentality is correct…but not complete. While living the life you lead right now is totally a choice, choices have consequences of their own. My choice to take my hand off of the hot stove saves my hand from being burned more than it already has. I can make that choice. Or I can make the choice to stay on my path and burn my hand until it is a red and blistered.
What path do you tread now? Is it one that you are pleased with? When the end comes, will you regret which road the God of judgment will find you on? Consider your life’s direction and your pleasure in it.
For me, that is the Christian path. Though is not the smoothest or most broad road, it is one that reaps the greatest rewards. And each day, I must wake up and decide if that road is worth walking that day. I confess, there are many days that I straddle two roads or even dare to walk a different one for a time.
I make mistakes. I choose unwisely. Some days, I serve another master other than the One I’ve committed my soul. I do not shy away from this. Some of my closest and oldest friends can testify to times when I was walking a different path. Wavering from the way you have chosen can happen. The important and necessary step after this, however, is to examine the path you are on and the one that you have left. Was the path you left worth leaving? Is the path you are on now worth taking?
I am convinced that there is no other path more worth walking than that of the Christian’s Road.
This is why my blog is named what it is. But that is my personal conviction, after encountering the Spirit of God. Unless you share my experience of facing God and being left ashamed, you may not agree with my assessment that the Christian Road is most worthy to be walked. How could I convince you to consider it? By living out my life in such a way that demonstrates the worth and value of being in the center of God’s purpose…that is one such way. Consider your path. Consider who else is watching you walk it. Count the cost. If you consider the path you walk most worthy, then walk it boldly. If you find your journey empty and lacking, I would encourage you to seek out a new path and embrace it.
