Narrow Road

"But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it"- Matthew 7:14 (NIV).

Everyone wants the "Easy Button." Why choose the hardest way to go, when there is a much more simple...easy...road to take. Many ask, "What's the least I have to do to accomplish my goal?" If you choose the harder path you'll find yourself traveling alone most of the time, because as you look around most everyone else seems to be on the faster, easier path. Don't be fooled. The two paths don't end up in the same place. Your friends may even taunt you or plead with you to change your course, but be diligent. Scripture says, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it" (v.13). Take the narrow road; there is life at the end. The adage is true that the best things are worth the wait.
