All Paths Lead to God
All Paths Lead to God
That MAY be True
BUT…
One path is rocky and windy
With Ravenous Beasts prowling, howling
Looking to devour unwary passersby
Another meanders and meanders until near the end
Where it suddenly veers off course and turns back on itself
Another one lies thru a desert
Where only the ones equipped with the most provisions can dare to pass through
Another is seemingly easy to travel, well-paved, safe, and broad
Yet strewn about with gold pieces and fancy trinkets and great shops and restaurants
First-class entertainment
all along the way, few want to leave it
Then there’s the narrow way,
Seemingly hard and lonely…
Hard to find,
Until one discovers Jesus
Then a great secret,
***Keep your eyes on the prize—Jesus
And keep walking towards Him
Then you will no longer notice that it’s cold
And you haven’t eaten
And there are sheer cliffs and snarling beasts on every side***
Lonely,
Until one notices the company
Fellow travelers one meets in unlikely places
Saints
Angels
Mary
And surprise! Mary has an elevator that goes straight up
She’ll take anyone who asks
Which path will you take?
