 A Journey Worth Taking 

Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. 

Our lives are filled with all sorts of journeys...journeys that are as trivial as a trip to the store or as powerful and life-changing as a trip to the hospital to witness the miracle of birth. They shape and mould us into who we are. Life itself is a journey that begins at birth and ends with death. 

The journey of life is full of unexpected encounters that challenge our faith in God. On some days we will be turned around. On others we will have the wind knocked out of us. We are prone to wonder where God is in the midst of all that swirls around us. 

In Matthew 7:13–14 (The Voice) Jesus says: 

‘There are two paths before you; you may take only one path. One doorway is narrow. And one door is wide. Go through the narrow door. For the wide door leads to a wide path, and the wide path is broad; the wide, broad path is easy, and the wide, broad, easy path has many, many people on it; but the wide, broad, easy, crowded path leads to death. Now then, that narrow door leads to a narrow road that in turn leads to life. It is hard to find that road. Not many people manage it.’ 

In other words, life presents two roads – the broad and the narrow road. This narrow road leads to a fulfilling life now and eternal life in the future. There’s love, joy, peace and the abiding presence of God. It’s a journey worth taking.
