Good Directions
by Kendra
I am really terrible with
directions. I get lost in ANY new city, and I can never seem to find the
easiest way back. I don't even think I can give directions to my own house!
So as you can see, I am one lost girl! Luckily, there's one important place
I know exactly how to get to. And that place is Heaven.
In John chapter 14, Jesus
says "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me." Through Jesus, I know that I will always be able to find
my way to my Heavenly home. I know I couldn't get there by trying to be a
really good person all the time, or seeking the world's routes. The only way
to go is to have faith in Jesus Christ because of His death and
resurrection.
And while I know that the
road of life is sometimes filled with tough times and difficult challenges,
I also know that Jesus will always be there guiding my footsteps. There may
also be times where I will try to find my own way away from God, a way that
may seem promising at first but always ends in a dead end. God never leaves
me stranded. He is always there to help me; to take me by the hand and lead
me step by step back to the right path. Jesus is the right and only way to
Heaven. It is only through Him that some day I will find my way home,
without confusing directions, into my home in Heaven.
