Truth is a path

“We seek TRUTH, but don’t WANT it ”

This is a line from a poem a friend of mine wrote. The other day I found myself reading this beautiful diverse poem again. This particular line jumped out at me because there is, truth to it. Literally. How many of us say we want to seek the Truth? Then when we find it, refuse it, deny it or even run away from the truth.

In this world and culture that we live in today it is common to choose the broad path, the convenient one. The Path that says enjoy for the moment. The cultural concept that says it’s okay to pick and choose what you believe, is so deceptive. We chase a place of freedom, a place where one doesn’t have to worry about consequences. Where you can have it your way. But we cannot live apart from God, He has written the truth in our hearts.

It is easy to choose the broad path, but if you listen to the quiet voice of God speaking to you in your heart you will hear him calling.  The unbelieving world hates the light. It requires discipline to walk the narrow path. It is the way of the few. The narrow way is the way of wisdom. No matter what you have been through and may be going through, know Jesus will make a way. It may not be the easiest path to walk on but you will have peace and a truth that will guide you.  You are walking on a path now. Where has your path led you up to this very moment? Is it the path that God wants you to live? Remember, there are only two ways to live, the path of righteousness or destruction. Which way will you choose?

John 14:6

“I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 8:32

“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
