THIS PATH

I can definitely say that I don’t always get thrilled over some of life’s detours. And even more so when they seem to offer pain.

Now the real problem is knowing that you are suppose to go down the path anyway. I can tell you that is not fun.

Because if you do it by accident you don’t feel so bad. But when it is on purpose you really get upset.

And then you sit back and what to argue with the Lord. Is this trip really necessary? Couldn’t I just learn without the pain?

But in the end we keep walking. And the journey leads where it will. Perhaps to a smile, maybe a frown, but always somewhere.

In the trip to discovery maybe we also find some truth. Those we thought we knew and were wrong and the ones we need to learn.

And if we embrace them as intended we get the blessing. If we resist then we are bound to repeat them.

So that is the journey we all must take with eyes prepared to see what the Lord wants to reveal. Then it will bless accordingly.

How easy this is to talk about. So hard to accept. The mind so chases its own will. The need to feel in control.

So we move into that realm that we debate. Analyze and vow. Reflect and take time to understand.

Only we may do that just by our own desires. We can celebrate when we take the time to learn in the process.

However that will be the trail of choice. And when we talk the opportunity it will always be a blessing.

Now this is not that hard to appreciate. To except can be next to impossible. And then it will depend on our eyes.

Whether we embrace the landscape set before us. Look and ask where God would lead. Do that and we can move as intended.

Ignore it and we will always be denied the very blessings we crave. Not measure in the rewards of our desires.

But by the Lord’s will it gives such light.
