There is no road, the road is made by walking.
He goes before us to make the crooked places straight.
All paths lead to God.
For whatever reason, those three quotes speak to me...and I had a brain freeze trying to decide which I should put first, second and third. I had each in first then second then third, entwined and intermingled, until I finally surrendered the hope of getting it "right."
This led me to ponder (again!) surrender. I read once that spiritual surrender is not defeat, it is being present to what is right in front of you without resistance or attempts to control.
I love that. I suspect that's why the three quotes came to me this morning...they all speak to me of the reassurance of surrender, the safety of surrender. Let's face it, surrender does not have a welcoming rep. Yet each of those quotes is welcoming in that each gives us the "goezy," the go-ahead because it is safe...and there is no alternative. (There's surrender in a nutshell...no alternative.)
"There is no road, the road is made by walking" sings to me because it takes our indecision away...no more sitting there trying to decide which road we should take. There is no road, start walking!
"He goes before us to make the crooked places straight" is our insurance policy...we're making the road as we walk, but he's going before us to straighten the way.
"All paths lead to God" is our payoff on the insurance policy...there are no wrong roads for they all start out and wind up in the protection of God's love.
Thank you.
