Taking the Hard Way The Lord said in, Matthew 7:14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. You may never get the miracle you need. You may never get the answer you want. When you make a choice to do what is right and good in Gods eyes then you may have to take the hard way out of any circumstance. In truth, Gods way can often be a difficult way. Taking the hard way should not be the way things are…so we are inclined to think. If we are willing to give our life away to Christ, shouldnt He pay us back by giving us an easy road and not make us take the hard way out of our circumstances? This good question has a most distressing answer. The distressing answer to this good question is we are to sacrifice for Christ. We are to sacrifice for Christ every second we are alive. As a true child of God, we must often take the hard way out of our circumstances. The hard way often means making a sacrifice. The hard way means turning away from temptation. As a true child of God, we must take the hard way out and take care of others before we take care of ourselves. As a true child of God, we must take the hard way out when we pray when praying is the last thing we want to do. As a true child of God, we must take the hard way out by putting all of our faith and trust in God when we are full of doubt, uncertainty, and distrust. For sure, as true children of God, there is a payoff for each of us. For sure, as true children of God, there is a payday. For sure, as true children of God, there is a time of a glorious outpouring of His love over us. In the time of His glorious outpouring over us, our old body is completely gone and our new heavenly body is born. For sure, as true children of God, we are to take the hard way because the hard way is His way, and when we take His way, there shall come a time for each of us when the way before us is made smooth. We shall stand before Him in all of His glory and splendor…as we wait to hear His words of love and compassion say Well done, good and faithful servant. Pastor Rubin Wilson
