Every morning as I rise, I am reminded of the two roads. One road is vast. So vast, there are times I forget where it ends.
It is appealing. It is easy. It is whatever I want it to be. It is always changing. It is the road traveled on by most.
The other road is narrow. I know where it leads. It never changes. It is hard at times, as there is a pulling in all directions from the vast road trying to snatch me away.
The vast road is selfish and doesn’t really love me. It gives me not what I need, only what I think I want. And what I think is usually wrong.
Even though I stumble the narrow road never forsakes me. It never holds a grudge as the vast road does. It carries me when I am weak.
I know, oh how I know by grace alone, through faith alone the narrow road widens. It gives me all I need. It gives me the only real peace I will ever know.
It is the ultimate gift I truly don’t deserve. By His sacrifice, I get to walk along this narrow road because it leads me home. It is my blessed assurance.

So simple but so true. I think sometimes we forget how hard the narrow road can be but it’s always always worth it!

Wide is the road that leads to perdition, but the path to life is the srtaight and narrow gate. Have you read Pilgrim’s Progress? Your post reminded me of this story.
