There are so many different roads I could travel. So many ways I could go. I stand at the crossroads, unsure whether to turn left or right, go forward or turn around.
While I stand and contemplate the choices, I sense something going on inside of me. My heart stirs. I think I need to listen to the voice in my soul. I want to make the right choice. I don't want darkness. I don't want shades of gray. I want pure light, so I listen. Soon, I hear these seven words, this is the way, walk in it. I feel drawn toward a particular road. It seems brighter than all the rest. I feel calm. I feel at peace. The Lord takes my hand and says, let's walk this way.
As we begin our journey, I realize life feels different. I feel different. Jesus is changing me on the inside. We came across a park bench and stopped to rest. I looked into His eyes and suddenly felt like I was diving into eternity. His eyes seemed to go on forever. I saw infinite love, infinite possibilities, and a glorious life.
This is the road that offers this deep connection with God. On this road, I am fully known and Jesus invites me to know Him fully. Mistakes, regrets, and sin no longer matter because forgiveness, grace, and mercy are offered here. The love on this road is so very strong. It is so pure, that it becomes light, and it radiates all around. I looked at Jesus, smiled, and took His hand. I am loved by God, one of His children. I am held in His arms. He gives me strength. He gives me shelter. He is my friend, my companion, my Savior.
