End of My Road, Beginning of His!
I know as a non believer when we accept Christ we reach the end of our road. This, however is for believers who continue to try and do it on their own. This has been me for so many years, just resisting to surrender completely to God, even though I know He only desires the best for me. I have come to realize in my walk with Christ, that the damage is done once I choose to sin. When I was younger and would be in sin for several weeks, I would never sense the impact it was having on my life. Now, I can feel the damage almost immediately. That conviction brings me back to Jesus quickly, but I have come to the end of that road. I must take responsibility for my actions and decisions. God is choosing to use me in people’s lives and if I continue to place me first, I will surely end up last. When I draw near to Jesus I feel all those whispers and temptations lose their power, they seem almost silent. Then for some reason, when one slips in, it is as if I have missed it and grab a hold of it and do not want to let go. What I know now is that I am still on my road and my choices, but God let me know His road is smooth and waiting for me as I stand at the fork in the road. I look down one way, which is my way and it seems so easy, without risk, then I look down the other way and it is unknown. God tells me take the one that is unknown and trust me, that way nothing will be familiar, especially your sin. When your on God’s road you have to focus on him and each step you take, you do not have time to look around at the distractions/ temptations. They will be there, knocking at the door, but ultimately our faith will guide us. Today is a day I choose to take the road that is unknown, the one where I have to submit totally to Christ, and hope each step is the one He is whispering in my ear to take.
One Love, One King, All Christ!
