The Talent and the Narrow Road

Am I, or is Jesus, the center of my life? Am I living for the glory of God or for me? Do I choose Jesus or the comforts of this world and conforming to this world?

We will ALL stand accountable before God, face-to-face with the reality of how we lived and used the gifts He gave us. Will we only then realize that “my vision for life doesn’t come anywhere close to the God-glorifying vision that He had for me when He came up with the idea for me.” Do I believe without a doubt that His plan is better…is best?


This conflict has become more clear to me as a parent of tween/teens. As I look at what I value in/for them, the “training” I think they need in life, the things I desire for them, the things I spend the most time preparing for them, the way I view their future. So easy to go with the cultural flow and get caught in the cycle of the world. The Bible will always bring us back to a better course. I pray for the strength, courage, resolve, desire to stay on God’s course for me and for them. 

It is the narrow road indeed.
