WORTH READING 7 Feb 2005
The Road Of Life
At first, I saw God as my observer, my judge, keeping track of the
things I
did wrong; so as to know whether I merited heaven or hell when I die. He
was
there sort of like a picture of a president. I recognized His picture
when I
saw it, but I really didn't know Him.
Later on when I met Christ, it seemed as though life was like a bike
ride,
on a tandem bike, and I noticed that Christ was in the back helping me
pedal. I don't recall when he suggested we change places, but life has
not
been the same since.
When I had control, it was rather boring, and predictable . . . It was
the
shortest distance between two points. But when He took the lead, He knew
the
exciting paths to take, up mountains, and through rocky places at
breakneck
speeds -- it was all I could do to just hang on! At times it seemed like
madness. He said: "Pedal!"
And by faith I did, although I worried and was anxious. "Where are you
taking me?" He laughed, but no answer, and I started to learn to trust.
I
forgot my boring life and entered into the adventure.
When I'd say, "I'm scared," He'd lean back and touch my hand. He took me
to
people that had gifts that I needed. Gifts of healing, acceptance, love,
and
joy. So many priceless gifts to take on my journey -- my Lord's and
mine.
Then we were off again. He said, "Give the gifts away -- they're extra
baggage now -- there'll be more gifts to come." So I did, I gave them to
people we met, and found that in giving I also received, and my burden
was
lighter.
I didn't trust him at first to be in control of my life. I thought He'd
wreck it -- but I discovered he knows how to handle even the roughest
roads
in my life. Now I'm learning to be quiet and pedal in the strangest
places.
I'm beginning to enjoy the view, the challenge of the ride, as well as
the
cool breeze on my face with my delightful constant companion -- Jesus
Christ.
When it seems I just can't take anymore, I keep my eyes and faith on
Him. He
looks at me, with a big smile, and says: ". . . Keep on Pedaling."
Addendum -- Isaiah 41:10 "Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be
dismayed, for I am Your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I
will
uphold you with my victorious hand."
