The Narrow Path

There’s just a point in your life where you just have to accept that not everything you wished or hoped for will come true. A time when you just have to gather up the courage to let it go and entrust everything to God, knowing He won’t allow you to be in situations of pain for the sake of "hurting" — but for the sake of "learning". One day, you will truly understand that God knows you more than you know yourselves and He loves you more than you can ever know. That even when you feel alone and misunderstood, and even sometimes unloved and used, there’s that One person who knows all your flaws yet loves you unconditionally, like no man can. He loves you, not because of what you do — He loves you for who you are.


The narrow path you are walking right now provides the experiences to enable you to become a new person. So, hang in there, because although growing up is painful — but once you have experienced intimacy with God and have been spiritually resurrected, your spiritual eyes will be opened and you will see His beauty. Your brand new life will be bigger, better, happier, richer, and more satisfying than it has ever been before.

Dear Lord, I pray for all Your children who are going through a fiery trial and who may be filled with pain and uncertainty as to whether You will be there for them. I pray that You will draw them near to You and bring them your peace. Please help them to know that their grief is before You and You are working it all out despite the fact that it seems like it will never end. Comfort them and show Your love to them in a very real way. Give them hope and courage that can only come from You. Amen.
