DIRECTIONS

Will is the author of our inner map. The ink flowing rich and thick in our desires colors. We are all different in our needs and so our interpretations will vary.

And that isn't always a bad thing. It is an inner truth to be embraced. A direction if followed from the core of our heart is truly a blessing.

Which is where we have to be willing to listen. To that inner voice and not argue or ignore it.

How often I have seen people whose directions were tainted. They were hindered by some personal bias.

A deception, self induced and often misleading. And especially if the person is clinging to some dream as their destination.

Oh the excuses we can muster to justify our lack of heading where inside we know is our destiny or potential. Saying the street signs don't matter.

Which never get us to the place we are suppose to be. And for that we can truly appreciate that it is our loss.

God's spirit will always shine a light on the path that He wants us to follow. It will be the one that truly takes us in the right path.

However, it may not look right at the time. Such is the nature of faith. We must walk where we can't see the horizon.

To do this can be difficult to say the least. We can truly be very anxious for what lies ahead so often.

But faith makes the choice to keep walking. To not let the distant or questions prevent our steps.

Such is the challenge faced every day. The need to always move ahead regardless of what the mind claims is need.

How often I have argued over the path I have had to follow. It isn't always pleasant and does always have big rewards in this life.

To accept that and keep moving is the key. To not retreat or give up is the test. Some don't have the desire or willingness to keep moving.

That is the side of faith that dwells in the shadows where God tests our spirit and if we will be faithful regardless. It can't be done just by words.

This is the journey of choice.
