The Way (repost)

There are times in our lives where we find ourselves lost… heading down a path we never intended to end up on.We are not even sure how we got there or if there is a way out. We are searching… looking...
trying to find a way out- a better way.
We have tried every direction...
-Money (yet once we spent it, it is gone)
-Food (after we eat, we are still unhappy, and now we are over-weight which makes us even more unhappy!)
-Entertainment (we tried laughing and having fun, yet we were still crying on the inside)
-Popularity (It is here today and gone tomorrow. There is no lasting happiness in popularity)
-Our own strength (we tried so hard to prove to the world we were strong enough, cool enough, good enough and yet we were not).


All of those only bring tempory happiness. We see that now, recognize it- and long for MORE. But where do we go?
Which way do we turn?
Time is running short, we have already wasted years of precious moments in life, doing one mistake after another, trying to conquer and achieve things that have no value.

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6


And then we sense Him calling us, we feel him changing us… we hear His voice saying that no matter what happened in the past, we can choose to follow God today and be free from any guilt or shame. He promises that we will be successful if we follow His word exactly. If we allow Him to direct our steps, He will not allow us to ever again loose our way. We will find rest for our soul and a whole new world will be opened to us. We will be changed at our root.

So we run into the arms of our savior- the one who loves us most of all.

For there we know we have found true happiness.


Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you. Matthew 7:7
