Two Choices – Two Destinies

“Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference“

Poet – Robert Frost

“For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction. And many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life”

 Disciple – Matthew 7:13-14

The “wide” gate and “broad” road so often chosen on my journey through life was rift with alluring rabbit trails my innate, impulsive spirit couldn’t resist exploring . . . therein lies my life’s greatest failures, sorrows, and heartaches.

Only by God’s unfathomable grace, and His only Son’s sacrificial death, was this prodigal son lovingly led back onto the “narrow” road leading to the “small” gate of life . . . therein lies my life’s greatest triumphs, joys and peace . . . and my Eternal destiny.

Now . . .

“One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus”

Pharisee – Philippians 3:13-14

Now . . .

I awake each new day in grateful wonder that, despite my sin checkered past, He has never once left my side, and His goodness continues to run after me.

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Prophet – Lamentations 3:22-23

Now . . .

Yesterday’s failures are forever forgiven and forgotten. God securely holds all my unknown tomorrows, and has given me today to embrace and live to the fullest, sharing His unending love with others . . .

 “Love to live, live to love“

Missionary – Amy Carmichael

Amidst Abba’s Art posts’ ramblings; off-beat humor; and Nature’s creatures and ‘creationscapes’ my camera captures in wilderness wanderings, my prayer is someone may catch an encouraging glimpse of His limitless love for them. For those who have yet to claim it, may they grasp that it’s theirs for the choosing to accept, and find the “narrow” road leading to the “small” gate of life . . . Eternal life!

Two Choices – Two Destinies

Choose wisely

Your Eternal Destiny lies in the balance

Keep Looking Up ^ . . . His Best is Yet to Come!
