DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO GO SOMEWHERE AND YOU GET TURNED AROUND, MIXED UP AND LOST. WE HAVE ALL COME UP ON A "ROAD CLOSED AHEAD" SIGN AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT MOST PEOPLE TRY TO FIND A WAY TO GET BACK ON A ROAD WHICH LEADS SOMEWHERE. I CANT THINK OF ANYONE WHO WOULD KEEP DRIVING TO SEE IF THE SIGN MEANT WHAT IT SAID. I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED ROAD SIGNS. MOST PEOPLE DO. ITS THE OTHER "SIGNS" IN LIFE THAT I HAVE HAD A HARD TIME ACKNOWLEDGING.
IN THE PAST, I HEARD THE WORDS "GIRL, YOU ARE HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION" OR "THAT GIRL IS HEADED DOWN A BAD ROAD." MY PARENTS EVENTUALLY GOT TIRED OF EVEN TRYING TO WARN ME. I HAD MY OWN PLANS, MY OWN AGENDA. IT WAS "MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY." I DIDN'T WANNA HEAR WHAT ANYONE HAD TO SAY. I WAS HEADED FULL SPEED DOWN A ROAD THAT WENT ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE. I FOLLOWED MY OWN LEAD AND DIDN'T CARE IF I WAS HEADED TO DESTRUCTION. EVERY AREA OF MY LIFE WAS AFFECTED BY MY LACK OF DIRECTION. EVERYTHING I DID EVENTUALLY LED TO MISERY. ALL OF THE ROADS I TRAVELLED LED TO HEARTACHE FOR ME OR THOSE CLOSE TO ME. I FOLLOWED MY OWN LEAD. I WAS TRULY HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
IT WASN'T UNTIL I FINALLY CAME TO A "DEAD END" THAT I DECIDED TO PAY ATTENTION. I KNOW WE DON'T EVEN HAVE HILLS HERE, BUT PICTURE COMING TO A CLIFF AT THE VERY TOP OF THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN YOU HAVE EVER SEEN GOING ABOUT 80 MILES AN HOUR AND DOING EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO STOP YOURSELF FROM PLUNGING OVER THE EDGE. IT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T HAPPEN, BUT THAT'S WHERE FOLLOWING MY OWN LEAD GOT ME. I COULD GO NO FURTHER. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I HAD MET THE END OF MY ROAD.
IT WAS AT THE EDGE OF THAT CLIFF THAT THE LORD SAVED ME FROM MYSELF. HE MADE ME REALIZE THAT I HAD TRULY BEEN HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. THROUGH THE FORGIVENESS, THE GRACE, THE MERCY AND THE LOVE OF MY GOD, I AM ABLE TO WRITE THIS "NOTE" TODAY. GOD GENTLY PLACED ME IN THE SAFETY OF HIS ARMS AND GUIDED ME TO A BETTER PATH. A WELL LIT ROAD. AN AWESOME HIGHWAY. I WAS AND AM STILL SO VERY UNDESERVING, BUT THE LORD DOESN'T SEE IT THAT WAY. HE SENT HIS ONLY SON JESUS CHRIST TO RESCUE SINNERS LIKE ME. JESUS DIED SO THAT WE MAY LIVE. HIS ONLY DESIRE IS THAT WE FOLLOW HIM WITH A PURE, HONEST AND DEVOTED HEART. I AM STILL SO VERY AMAZED THAT MY GOD WOULD DO ALL OF THIS FOR ME, MICHELLE MILLER, THE ONE WHO WANTED TO GO OFF IN THE WRONG DIRECTION INSTEAD OF FOLLOW HIS PRECIOUS LEAD.
MARK 2:14... AND HE SAID TO HIM, "FOLLOW ME." SO HE AROSE AND FOLLOWED HIM.
JOHN 10:27..."MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME."
HE WANTS TO DO THIS FOR US ALL. IF HE DID IT FOR ME, HE CAN AND HE SURELY WILL DO IT FOR YOU!! IT IS NOT HIS IDEA THAT WE BE MISERABLE. HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE US LOST AND ALONE. WE WERE PUT ON THIS EARTH TO BE HAPPY, JOYOUS AND FREE. OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD! HE ONLY TO BLESS US ALL. HE HATES TO SEE ANY OF US HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. I AM REMINDED OF THIS ALL DAY, EVERY DAY!
