Though None Go With Me
Why does it often feel like we're the only one going a certain way and everyone else is going a different way? Maybe because they are?
Walking the Christian walk is just plain not like the world - we know that - but the narrow way sometimes is not only a tight squeeze but also very lonely.
Lonely like, where are those I love, like the one who tripped and fell when the road split? Where's the one who's so far behind we can't see them anymore?
It's hard - when their road looks so fun and they seem so happy.
It's long - when the way is straight up steep and it's hard to breathe in the climb - but yet.....we can't go back.
The thing about this narrow way is that no matter how steep or treacherous or lonely or hard, Jesus is still right there beside us. Whether He holds our hand or picks us up or even pushes us! He is there. He is here. He is the end of this road we call life.
