Taking The Right Road

There are many roads in life to walk…..however there are two roads that are miss understood and not travel to their end…
  
The road to redemption and the road to forgiveness are made up of the same kind of emotional material.  Both roads lead to unbelievable outcomes and both require the active participation of the individual who travels either road.   Likewise the roads, each of us will travel the roads of belief and unbelief, the roads of faith and doubt.    No matter, what road you are on today, each road has turns of uncertainty, curves of wait and see, bends that keep on going and going, and yes each road travel has speed limits.  You can only go so fast based on your experience and understanding.  Like the old cowboy once said to a new arrival in town, “you are not from around here.” 

 

Each road walked in life requires self-examination, personal reflection and a made up mind to make it to the end.  Like most modern road ways today, what is seen on the surface and its durability has more to do with what lies under to support and undergirds the surface than what the surface is made out of. 
 

The inner foundation of an individual has more to do with outcomes than a person’s outward appearance.  In other words, you can look like a million dollars, but can struggle with inner demons of abuse, alcoholism, drugs, emotional disorders and social discomfort. On the other hand you can have little to nothing, but have peace of mind, heart, health and soul.  In the end and at the end of the day, you are happy and enjoying life to its fullest.  
 

In the end this race we travel is not given to the swift nor to the strong, but to those who have endured to the end.   Each road you travel will forever change you, your perspective about life and others, sometimes these experiences along these roads will leave you bitter or can make your better.  Sometimes these road experiences will reshape your way thinking about people, their issues and passion. Sometimes these road experiences will leave you with emotional baggage of hurt and disappointment. 
 

Nevertheless the road experience you go through, if you have God on board, in your life, the journey on the road of life will turn out to be the best, for where He lead me I will follow.
