The “Compass Needle” …

Romans 8:31-32 ~ “What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all - how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things??

Abba Father good morning ~ The Lord Our God purposefully created an intimate path in life with security, comfort, everlasting salvation. An anointed life of restoration available for everyone. A life from turmoil of the ways of this world to anointed redeemable promise of everlasting life in heaven. It is a path of choices, decisions, way of life. A journey well-traveled throughout life with many twists, turns, forks in the road. With every maneuver coming along. One path gets wider and wider. The other narrower and narrower. Difference between these paths of life is hopefulness or hopelessness. One brings ungodliness where wider provides more comfort, more friends, more excitement, more rewards. The other brings living affirmation with Godly truthfulness; unity is closeness, friends are family, rewards are anointed gifts of God’s powerful life-changing undeserved grace. The living bible teaches about these paths of life. The one well-traveled is the ways of this world. Less-traveled is the ways of “The Lord Our God.” This wide path of life is living in the ways of this world living deceived with satan’s ungodliness. Misguided with untruth, comforted with materialism, fulfilled with gratifications. Having our life nurtured, maintained, fueled by pornography, gambling, drugs, alcohol, technology, instant pleasures. The wider the path, more abundant are delusions of ungodliness. The problem with this appearance of wider is spacious. It’s easier to get lost, disorientated, consumed, devoured. Being lost in the middle of a forest is totally overwhelming. It creates feelings of fear, desperation, anxiety, hopelessness, isolation. Being lost in the ways of this world is like being lost in the middle of an endless forest. Dark without direction, lonely with isolation, cold with fear, hopeless without truth. Like moss growing deep within the forest. Despair grows deeply within our heart, our mind, our soul; our inner-core of thriving life. But the narrow path seemingly restricting, confining, isolating. Having an appearance of no direction, no future, no hope. This path is getting narrower as we journey throughout life is actually brining Godly focus with unity, direction with clarity, hope with promises. The appearance of being squeezed tightly is actually a life of living freely engaged. This narrow path is comforting within closeness, fulfilling within friendships, affirming within truthfulness. Like a path on a mountain it gets narrower and narrower as you slowly make your way to the mountain top revealing splendors throughout the journey. As we journey on this narrow path of life. Motivating encouragement along the way will reveal living affirmation, undeniable faithfulness, protective promises of “The Lord Our God.” ?Every fork coming along will be hardships of life with struggles, trials, temptations, uncertainties. This path intimately gets narrower and narrower. Splendors of living affirmation along the way will bring hope to move forward, unconditional love to stay focused, compassionate forgiveness to sustain, everlasting life in heaven to overcome. Throughout this journey motivating affirmation will be fulfilling within every sunrise, every sunset, throughout every night. We will encounter free-gifts of cleansing, redeeming, restorational undeserved grace breathing everlasting life (Holy Spirit) into life’s brokenness (our sinfulness) within anointed sustainable life (Christ Jesus) from everlasting life in heaven (Abba Father). Gifts un-earnable, un-purchasable, un-creatable. Our compass on this narrow path is living a life of faith. Needle of direction is willingly believing, accepting, trusting, following within Our Living God, Our Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit. Our life will be like journeying mountains revealing splendors of life-changing undeserved grace. Mountain tops of everlasting hope, unconditional love, compassionate forgiveness, everlasting life in heaven. We have a choice, a decision, a way of life to choose. We can journey the wide path of the ways of this world getting lost in thickets of ungodliness. Or journey the narrow path to mountain tops following the compass of Godliness with the needle of life-changing undeserved grace within God the Father ~ God the Son ~ God the Holy Spirit. Remember ~ We cannot abort our journey and call it a victory within Christ Jesus.?

Father ~ Thank you for being my compass needle. Directing my sinful life on the narrow path of cleansing, redeeming, restorational undeserved grace. Father ~ Intimately open my heart, my mind, my soul to not only encounter free-gifts on this narrow path, but freely engage life-changing undeserved grace on the journey to the mountain top anointed, sustained, protected within you forever Abba Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit.
