Matthew 7:13-14
Enter through the narrow gate:
for wide is the gate, and broad is the road,
that leads to destruction, and many go that way.
How narrow is the gate that leads to life;
and how rough, the road;
few there are, who find it.
---- Mine,
There is always much to say to you when you come to Me each morning but today I want you to pay particular attention to what I desire to say to you. Life is much more than food, drink, entertainment, pleasure, self-indulgence, and the craving after the baubles that the world dangles before your eyes.
Life is short and you have but a brief time to prepare for eternity. You determine what eternity will be like for you by the choices you make each day. It is hard to make the right decisions that lead to the strengthening of your character which in turn will direct your will to do what pleases Me and not yourself or others. Do not spend so much time anxiously wondering about the impression you are making on people. What does it matter ---- Mine to please the world and to not ever think about pleasing Me in everything?
Life is a testing ground where you are faced with challenges that will either bring you close to Me or distance Me from you. The choices you make will determine the final reward which is the fullness of joy with Me. Keep your gaze fixed on the goal. Keep your hand in Mine. Be attentive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. The right choices are often not the easy ones. Rely on grace, not on yourself. And remember I am with you always.
