Ever wonder about the decisions we make? the consequences, the pain/joy/thrill of it all? Ever wonder where it all leads or the battle that is fought for you daily as you go about each day? This is the experience i had in finding that out:
I went on a journey today, through my mind and I got lost. I went on a journey through my mind, I wanted to find myself. How did I get here? Where was I? Why was it so dark? Sigh, I didn’t know the answer to those questions. So I started walking through this darkness not knowing which direction to go in. while walking though, I kept seeing this strange man with a sign saying let me help you but each time I saw him I ignored him. I was getting weary doing this on my own and since I didn’t know where I was going I was getting frustrated. Then suddenly this stranger quickly and generously offered to help. I had no time to be weary of strangers so I accepted his help and I thought he was much more helpful than the stranger with the signs. So we started walking deeper into the darkness. The more we walked the harder it seemed but the stranger kept reassuring me that “I can take you where you wanna go.”As we kept going though, I kept seeing the stranger with the signs, saying let me help you, I can turn on the lights; at the same time I’m thinking why doesn’t He come to me and help. The road was really getting tough now and I started to complain and I noticed the stranger leading me was getting upset each time I said I was tired or wanted to rest. Finally I broke down not wanting to move anymore and surprisingly the stranger started yelling and getting angry with me. I looked towards the man with the signs who never seemed so far away and this time the sign said “let me help”so I ran over to Him crying asking him to help me. The man who was helping me came over filled with anger screaming “she’s mine!”the man with the signs said “she was never yours!" with that the angry helper vanished, the man with the signs then took my hand, helped me up and said “let me turn on the light”. He did, and right in front of me was the edge of a cliff. I looked down and there seemed to be no end to its dark abyss, that’s where I was headed. I thought to myself if I fell I would have died or if I somehow survived I would have never made it out. As if reading my thoughts the man said “I would have caught you and helped you find your way out”I was so thankful. He continued “you don’t always have to look far for the answers you seek”suddenly I was sitting in front of a mirror. He said “I made you perfect and if you need reassurance just come to me and I will help you”I said thank you He smiled and went away and with that I knew I found what I was looking for... what i was looking for was never far away!
I've found that choosing Jesus can be the hardest thing to do for some reason and that can lead us down some dangerous roads with temptations that hastens our demise. We should always be weary of the choices we make choosing God in the midst of it all is always the best choice.
