As i said before the blog name: The Road Yet Divided has a special meaning to me. It has been floating around in my head for the past few years. I knew God planted it there for a reason but I couldn't find a place were it meant something until now. To me I believe it's each Christian's path for walking the straight and narrow way to God. We all walk it and should be reaching for the same goal. Which is to be the best child of God we can be, thru our works and gifts he has given us. We should reach out to others to spread his words and love. Although we all strive to do this it is a never ending process that we all must commit and go thru. It is very personal, intimate and no two people will ever be at the same place in their journey. It takes some years to get to this point, others just jump right in and for some it takes trial and error to get back to this place but sooner or later we should all be at this point. Now it is not easy thus the Road Yet Divided, which is the choice we make when the bumps, turn offs, ramps, Y's, and feeder roads along the way of our journey thru life appear. On a daily basis sometimes minute we have to choose which way to go. Is it Gods way or our way. Most of the time we choose Gods way because it's easy and there is not much thought about it. The other times is when the obstacles appear and we hesitate and think about the choice or choice's rather then let God guide us smoothly thru the bump in the road. Were we go wrong is thinking God needs help instead of us needing it. We tend to think we know whats best for us, our family, job and just about everything else involved. So what do we do, we become the worst back seat driver that there could ever be. Unfortunately this is human and happens quite often along our journey. The good thing is is that God doesn't abandon us when we decide we know best. He just sits back and patiently waits for us to drive back on the road and let him take the wheel again. Sometimes it takes one longer then it should and he gives us nudges to get back on, and depending how far we have driven off the path determines if we listen or not. Cause when it gets to this point we usually think he has forsaken us and that we are all alone. This is a very crucial time in our journey, and we MUST remember that God is there. We seem to forget the beautiful poem that talks about the sets of footprints in the sand walking side by side, and the man that is speaking to God about them. Along the way the man ask God why was there only one set of footprints. Those were the hardest times of my life said the man and you weren't there walking with me. God tells the man that he is mistaken for it was at those times I carried you through the sand until you were able to walk beside me again. It's true he is always there especially when the road is ruff, it just takes us awhile to realize it and to give the wheel back to him.
It is not an easy thing to do, to give it ALL to him. Everything that is us. Our job, family, marriage, kids, house, money, words, and everything else that you can possibly imagine that makes you you. If we could just realize that he commands us to give it all to him, to turn it over. That his hands are big enough to handle it, and that his heart has room for all of us no matter what. There would be so much peace in us that nothing that life throws at us and no matter how many Y's, feeder roads, bumps, T's, and turn offs that we face it will be OK because will just simply give it all to him.
I would like everyone to know that this is a daily struggle of mine that I go thru. I have just recently given it all back to God, and it feels great. I have a peace about me that I can't explain in words and it brings tears to my eyes just writing you about it. I want you to know it is so worth it. The Road Yet Divided doesn't have to be your path it can be straight and beautiful if you just leave it all in his hands.
