ALL ROADS LEAD TO GOD

My waking dream: I stand at the frayed-rope bridge strung over a 1,000 foot-deep chasm. God stands on the other side. I know I must go forward toward God or die all alone, wrapped in the hopelessness of self. 

But I'm not entirely stupid...the rope is frayed, the bridge can't hold much longer without anyone on it even! I am stuck there in fear, doubts and willful wishing.

I turn back so I can consider the problem. I ponder; I gather opinions, studies and papers to read, study and ponder more. I'm in that old rocking chair syndrome, going back and forth, back and forth, calling it moving but going nowhere.

After days, weeks, months, years looking for another way, I start forward, praying that God will hold the bridge for me. I get nearly half way across, and the frayed rope breaks. 

As I am  falling, I realize that THIS IS HOW I AM MEANT TO MEET GOD. It makes no nevermind whether I make it across to God or fall, I go to God. 

All roads lead to God...it needs our leap of faith forward to meet Him.

Thank you.
