the path of life.

A friend sent me this the other morning and I thought it was very encouraging and something I know I need to remind myself of everyday. 


"Keep walking with Me along the path I have chosen for you. Your desire to live close to Me is a delight to My heart. I could instantly grant you the spiritual riches you desire, but that is not My way for you. Together we will forge a pathway up the high mountain. The journey is arduous at times, and you are weak. Someday you will dance lightfooted on the high peaks; but for now, your walk is often plodding and heavy. All I require of you is to take the next step, clinging to My hand for strength and direction. Though the path is difficult and the scenery dull at the moment, there are sparkling surprises just around the bend. Stay on the path I have selected for you. It is truly the path of life." 


God reminds us in Psalm 16:11 that, "He has made known to us the path of life; He will fill us up with joy in His presence, with eternal pleasures at His right hand." 


I think this concept is something that is so simple and that we can make so complicated sometimes and really get caught up in other things, whether it be our jobs, or school, or physical things, but God has called us to something higher-simply walking in his truth and path of life. 


Let us make it a point today to walk in the joy of His presence only, on His path of life. 


Happy almost friday!
