My Well- Worn Path

A few weeks ago one of our pastor's wives gave a little mini message on creating a well worn path. She didn't know, but God had really been laying this same vision in my heart. I know that God speaks to everyone differently but so often in my life God uses people that just walk in & out of my life to encourage & confirm what He is speaking to me.

If my well worn path was visible this is what I imagine it to look like. I imagine Jesus is at the end of this path, just sitting with arms wide open waiting for me. The greatest ting about this path is it is finally cleared. The path used to be covered with moss, grass, trees, rocks... But everyday as I walked on it to find Jesus I would clear it a little bit more each day, moving that rock, or branch. The more times I run to Jesus, the more of His word I put into my life, the more I listened to His soft voice the clearer my path became. Now my path is cleared I can run quickly to the arm of my God. Every once in a while the storm may pass and leave behind some branches in my path, but I now know how to pick them up & continue running. Life is not perfect and times get hard, struggles come for everyone. But if you have created a well worn path that run or struggle is so much easier. Sometimes I believe that Jesus even sees me running & though the path may have some debris on it, He meets me right where & I am helps me make that path clear again.

I am not a person that forces 'religion' on anyone. I think religion is useless & certainly will not get you to heaven. And it is not often that I blog about my personal walk, but I have been challenged to step out of my comfort zones. This isn't much, but something that has been really heavy on my heart lately & a way God is speaking to me. For me sometimes I get lost in bible readings, or sermons & I need a visual. This made my walk with God become clear. So now I can ask myself daily, "how does your path look? Have you went running to your Father today?" It all starts with just one step, put one foot in front of the other.

Proverbs 4:18-19 The ways of right-living people glow with light; the longer they live, the brighter they shine. But the road of wrongdoing gets darker and darker-travelers can't see a thing; they fall flat on their faces. (message)
