My Way
Every day we see commercials and advertisements telling us to – get paid when we say; law firms will get us the money we deserve; food additives, medications and supplements will make us feel younger, have more hair, slim-out those ugly wrinkles and on and on.
Frank Sinatra’s song “I did it my way” put that spark of forgetting the rules or in some cases common sense doing things his way got the end result he desired.
It may have worked for Frank, or maybe it was just words on the pages of a song?
Clint Eastwood’s television persona used “My way or the highway” to get his point across.
The bible tells us that God’s way is the narrow way, the only way is through the Son, Jesus Christ to the Father who is in heaven, yet we constantly want to believe that it doesn’t apply to us. In fact if we had our way nothing would apply to us, just to everyone else around us.
A little food for thought, If it were not for Jesus Christ, we would get exactly what we deserve…..death, spiritually and for eternity (longer than time). So the next time you ask, no demand what you deserve……think about that!
Salvation is a gift from God that no man may boast and that my friend is called Grace that only God can supply. Thank God for HIS Grace!
If you don’t know God, you can’t even begin to imagine what God’s grace is. Believe God is, trust that what God says is, and ask for God’s grace to fill your heart and give you peace.
God say’s his ways are higher than man’s ways. Certainly my way is not God’s way, but it’s a struggle that I have every day – make me like you Lord, make me like you! – RTM

Well said, as always. It’s a daily struggle for many of us, me included, but I keep on trudging up that hill.
