Your Narrow Path

Enter through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who go through it.
Matthew 7:13


We all know this. Though it may be difficult at times to discern or choose, we know that the gate to eternal life - Jesus Christ - is narrow and there are few who enter through it. But what about your steps on that path?

I truly believe that God has planned a very specific path for each of us. (Jeremiah 29:11) It is the life He created for you, and only you, to live. There is no one else who can walk it: It is yours alone.

There will be many times in your walk with Him on this path that it may take a sharp turn, drop suddenly down, or take a leap up. It is often confusing, terrifying, or even lonely, but we are not to fear, for He is with us. His rod and His staff will comfort you. (Psalm 23:4) Our job is to keep stepping, not concerning ourselves to much with what the path will bring (Matthew 6:34). When we stay near to Him, listening and being guided by His Word, just enough of the path will be lit at our feet (Psalm 119:105).

Take heart! This is the path made just for you!
He is clothing you, His bride, with a designer gown which no one else can wear.

And you will be beautiful in His eyes... (Song of Solomon 4:7)
