There is more (part 2)

Crap, this road is narrow. It’s so hard.

I know Jesus said it would be but really, it is narrow. The only thing keeping me here right now is that promise of narrowness. If this one promise is true, then surely, perhaps, maybe all the other promises are true. Anyways, let’s keep going.

I am convinced that anyone that decides to walk here deserves a medal just for making that decision in the first place. It is much easier, less demanding to have faith in nothing – the wide and open road – than to find yourself with faith in Jesus.

Faith in God takes careful watching of step. It’s a road of constant self-discipline and subdued pride. Self-dignity is rolled in the mud and you are reduced to nothing. Plus, there are limited responses to the affairs of life; after all, there are no turns or curves or bends. Just straight on.

It’s a challenge unfit for the most grilled of athletes, and it lasts a lifetime. But why do I bother? I trudge along on sore feet because I know there is more.

But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it
(Matthew 7:14)

There is more is a personal outpouring from a walk out of the dark of doubt, something that Christians don’t speak enough about.
