Lost Without a Map?

It's a sad thing to be lost. It can be down-right frustrating. You try to get somewhere but you just keep spinning your wheels. No matter how hard you try you get absolutely no where. After a while your sense of urgency can be lost and if you continue lost with no resolution you might just give up, perhaps you might even shift your focus altogether and try to go somewhere new, somewhere easy. To keep pushing on is really not that hard if you learn to deal with the setbacks, though it feels so much easier to just give up. For those that push forward and don’t give up, such joy will rain down upon them. It’s making that touchdown, it's sinking that put 3 under par, it’s sinking that shot far past the 3 point line at the last second. First the release and relief of accomplishment and then the joy in realizing the win, it’s having that feeling that you belong that you have earned your way and you only feel that better things are to come. Finding that, “OH YES”, moment with Jesus is a similar feeling. When you finally hit that moment when you believe, the pieces fall into place and a clarity surrounds you feel as if you have encountered like no other and you have. Its different things for different people what might bring clarity for one won’t another. We all have unique journeys that we are on but we can all find our way to God. We get there through Jesus. He came to help pave the way by dealing with that Original Sin. He teaches us how get right, get clean and how to navigate life. He loves us no matter what we have done and he will love us no matter what we do in the future. Will we make mistakes? Yes, but because of Gods mercy and love he understands and forgives. He forgives because he loves and that is all he asks of us. He wants us to love him, God, and everyone we meet. He wants us to forgive when we are wronged and before we are even asked. Seeing Jesus for who he is really is an amazing moment but thats just the beginning. It gets so much better, there is so much more to experience and receive and enjoy. I encourage all to spend some time with Jesus’s teachings and to study his ways. For in them and to travel with him you will find glorious peace and salvation. You will find love and acceptance for Jesus is the son of God.

John 1:47-51

47Jesus saw Nathan'a-el coming to him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!" 48Nathan'a-el said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." 49Nathan'a-el answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!" 50Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these." 51And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."
