"On The Road Again"

Do you sometimes feel the shame of  past choices weighing heavy on your heart? Do you compare your choices to those of others who seem to be unaffected by theirs. We all  allow ourselves to go down this road from time to time. But what happens when we do this?  We get further away from from His truth!  I, for one don't like to get off course. An occasional detour here and there, maybe.  Ugh, not to mention the time it takes to back-track which depends on how far we've gotten off course.

When we take a wrong turn, all is not lost. But we can't just sit there either. Have you been there?  We do have to stop, check the GPS or map and take appropriate measures to regain ground and reach our destination.  Who knows?  We may even get another Starbucks stop in for having to be on the road a little longer. Yes!

Hey, I like simple analogies from life to share God's truths. I hope you don't mind me taking you around the block.  But, the One who loves us most has His arms extended and has given His life to prove He knows the way, and in fact, is the Way.  Those  not-so-wise choices we've made or those of others that somehow affect us (or not) can actually point us to the road of redemption.  For if we made no wrong choices, we'd not need the Saviour!

Don't let past sins, yours or others, get you down and off course.  Instead look up!  Get back in the car of life and drive on!  His word gives direction, His Spirit enables!  So keep beeping, er, believing! ;)
