The Thursday Think Tank (on Saturday) - The Road

I realize I'm super late for this post, but procrastination/tardiness is, unfortunately, a family trait I must battle with everyday and all things considered I think it'll be ok if I'm late just this once. Anyway, I did write this on Thursday but never got around to posting it til tonight. This poem is about a journey I recently embarked on.

Strait and Narrow
The road I walk on
Isn't lined with flowers
Or smoothly paved
It's easy to find
But not easy to take


This road is rugged
And often painful
But I can't be happy
Unless
I walk it


This road is hard
But in it you'll find
Love, joy, peace, and
Living water; one sip
And you'll never thirst


This road I walk on
Is quite deserted
Except for One
Whose love alone can satisfy
His name is True and Faithful


It's His road I walk on
Every day and every night
Some may scorn
But I can't be happy
Unless I walk it

"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." - Matthew 7:14


*I realize my statement "It's easy to find/ But not easy to take" sounds contradictory to the above verse, but what I meant to convey with it is the simplicity of the gospel. Coming to Christ is easy, but that's just the beginning. People often leave out the stuff that comes after accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior, which is what the verse is talking about and the road I am on.
