Keep Moving Forward


“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."
Matthew 7:13-14



So picture this with me ... There is a narrow gate and once you get through the gate there is a way that you must walk which is hard and its leading you life !

A lot of times we find ourselves happily positioned at the entrance of the gate just very content in knowing what it is...Sometimes we walk a few miles down and find a comfortable spot and sit there... 

In our actual day to day lives we forget we are on this wonderful journey of following Christ, every day every moment is a step forward towards Him. Sometimes our desire to grow in Him, to draw closer to Him tends to hit a a line which we draw saying "yeah this is fine"... for some of us that line may be just going to church every sunday, for others it may be just contentment saying , "Ah yes this is all that I need to know.. Im good..." ... for some of us its resting on past laurels, "Hey I have journeyed so far ok... That is more than enough ! Now I am on a break/ Im busy with other responsibilities and I will stay where I am"

Its not enough to reach at the gate or to walk a few steps ahead and say "I'm here".. Its the WAY... There is a destination to reach... Which means we need to keep moving forward.. walk, run , pressing on.

God Bless You
