I was reading in the Psalms this morning and I knew exactly what the writer meant. “He led them by a straight way”… I can remember too well the crooked path that had been present for much of my life. I was trying to find my own way – maybe by myself – or with others struggling to find their way as well.
It’s a crooked path. I tried “things” – buying pocketbooks and shoes. Meaningless. I tried all of the wrong relationships which can bring pain and regret. Worthless. I tried alcohol. Blurred my creativity – emotions – my path to healing. Finally, I found the path.
Through many sorrows and trials, the day I asked God to show me His way – I found the path. Now, I have to be alert (impossible with drugs and alcohol). I must be forgiving of myself – knowing that I can quickly get off the path and right back into a patch of weeds – but it is such a sweet journey. Forgiveness. Unconditional love. Service to others.
I pray that I never leave God’s path – and that you join me. Just ask Him to show you the way.
