The Way of Truth

“Enter through the narrow gate. 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, and only a few find it.”   Matthew 7:13-14

lost in this sea of darkness,

sentenced to die from the day

we are born,

guilty as charged,

eternally separated,

forever gone;

fill me with hope and joy,

remove this sadness and despair,

show me how to love as You loved us,

teach me how to live as You lived for us;

the dreams of men are like

birds on the wind,

shifting and rearranging,

living and dying,

here today,

gone tomorrow;

there are many roads in life,

leading to far away,

unknown destinations,

creating their own specific

brand of justification,

finding their own particular

version of truth,

but no matter how many

truths we create,

no matter how many different ways

we want to believe;

there is only one truth,

there is only one way,

there is only one road;

it does not bend to fit our

ideas or desires,

it does not go in the direction

we demand it to go,

it is final,

it is absolute;

that is how truth works;

today I stop living the dreams of men,

today I begin living the truth of God;

enter through the narrow gate

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;

and only a few find it.
