Avenues

Life takes so many unexpected journeys. And you always have the ones who want to tell you want to look for.

There is choice in that regard. And there is also the Lord’s will. Somewhere the idea came that being in the Lord’s will is always a prosperous path.

While it is true it will be blessed, it just doesn’t mean it will be prosperous according to our definition.

And it is very hard at times to get everyone to appreciate that truth. They will always blend their desires with the Lord’s will.

This can cause so many problems at time. And it can cause people to come up with some really crazy philosophies.

Plus each one who follows the Lord is set on a path He designs for so many reasons. It is for inspiration, learning, faith and growth.

So since it will vary by person and not have a given set of rule then comparing the avenues can be rather unproductive. In addition at times we need to learn by making mistakes.

What is said is if we take a detour by our own choice and end up messing some will make it sound like it is not their fault. As if there is some crime in making mistakes.

True there are occasions when somebody made have been responsible for our straying, but we still took that road. And accept it can be hard.

Now I admit that I get more than a little annoy with the ones who hold up false signs that lead you in a bad direction and then lie about it. It was my fault for trusting you, but you were the one who held up the sign.

Guilt can make so many act crazy. They can get so in need of excusing their behavior. Like that really helps.

And when they do that it makes it very hard to forgive them. Because you know they will do it again.

This is never an easy avenue to follow. For it will be one that always has problems. And that is a struggle.

Yet at times it is necessary for so many reasons. And to learn from it is the one blessing we all need.

Hopefully we can walk that journey without hate for ourselves or others.
