The Road Ahead

I tend to write more than poetry...I use nature and the beauty of the earth as my muse and whatever comes of it I use...I wrote this driving to school, literally. :-)

The Road Ahead

The most beautiful things happen to me. This morning as T was driving to school it was a normal Tuesday morning. Traffic was flowing as usual and for no reason at all I just decided to look up at the sky. The most beautiful sight graced my eyes. The clouds were unrelentingly thick, yet the sun still shone brightly through the crevices. Immediately I though of God. I thought of God being the rays of light in my life. I thought about the fact that he promised to be a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. The problem is we choose not to let Him. I then began to reminisce about times I could remember God trying to force His way into my life, yet I refused to let Him, but like the rays of sun I saw that morning, God never gives up on us. He continues to push through the mess and the circumstances in our lives, being the light in the darkness; letting us know that He is still there though we may feel as if we dont need Him. So many times we allow the problems and situations of life and even people cloud our walk with God and we make the crevice for His divine manifestation so narrow that it seems He can only peek through. We hinder our breakthroughs by holding on to pain, concerns and feelings, but He is still there when we are ready to let go of those things. I continued to drive and after a while for no really good reason I looked at my hands holding the steering wheel, and then focused my attention on the fact that my whole car was filled with light. I looked up again at the sky and what was once almost completely dark and cloudy, was now the most beautiful clear, blue sky that I had seen in some time. The clouds that were so thick earlier were almost completely gone. It's amazing what God can do in our lives if we just just allow Him to break through. When we allow Him to breakthrough our clouds the possibilities are endless. Finances change, relationships change, thoughts and actions change, our lives, change, our walk with Him changes, and it is wonderful, so wonderful.....It didnt end there though upon arriving to school I received another word from the Lord...It happened to be rather chilly, and as always I was rushing and ran out of the house without and jacket and wearing flip flops, but of course I didnt mind too much, I was prepared to rely on the heater in my car. The only problem was I had to get out of the car to walk to class...Don't miss this....I had to leave my comfort zone and go out into the cold which I was unprepared for in order to get where I needed to be. I had to leave my comfort zone...I had to go out into elements that I was unprepared for in order to get to where I needed to be....such a powerful word in that...but anyway believe it or not as I was walking to class I was not as cold as I thought that I would be, and I am a very cold-natured person. It just so happened that the sun was warming my back as I was moving forward on my journey....On the latter the cold was hitting me on my front...Believe it or not this happens in our daily walk with God and in life. When we are moving forward to our destinations and the places that we need to be, Satan and negative forces do all that they can to make us retreat into our comfort zone, but the warmth of God's presence pushes us forward to get us to where we need to be. We must make a decision in life to keep moving forward despite what obstacles face us because when we retreat to our comfort zone, not only are we moving farther away from the place God wants us to be, but we have the wrong forces motivating us and pushing us. As a result, we are no longer in the will of God. When God takes us out of our comfort zones He doesn't leave us alone because He knows the difficulties that await us, but if we can just remember who we have pushing us forward....There is no power greater than His power. No trial too hard for Him to see us through. He is a strong tower. He is... Just think of what He is to you....Think about the times that adversity was trying to push you backwards...trying to make you retreat, but God was gently pushing you forward giving you enough power and strength to keep going! God is amazing!
