So I jumped upon this path where everyone on it said they are following
our Beloved Messiah. I was so excited to be amongst those who wanted to
live like He lived. And then one day, at the end of the week, our
Beloved Messiah said that he was gonna' stop for a day and take a
break. He wanted to rest and recoup from the past week and start the
new week all a fresh and renewed. But that's when I noticed that all of
the ones on the path I had joined kept on going. They didn't even
notice that our Beloved had stopped to rest. They just pressed on
through with a zeal for all they had engaged into for the week. I was
puzzled as I looked at my colleagues carrying on, and my Beloved who, I
suddenly realized was not really on the same path as I was with all of
these others. I got to looking really close and began to see that the
path was quite similar in many ways but it was still not the same path.
There were actually two paths. One that was very narrow and straight.
Not confusing at all. And one that was very broad. But this path also
had many little side tracks that led off to other destinations. Some
that came back around and some that just kept right on going further
away. I could not believe I had not noticed all of this before. And
then when I tried to point it out to some of those I thought I knew
pretty well they seemed to be very offended that I would even bring up
such a matter. It was as if having even the slightest thought of that
broad path maybe not being the exact path we should be on was the
epitome of blasphemy against our Beloved. And no matter that it was
obvious that He was not even amongst us while He had taken a step away
to rest. No one wanted to hear anything remotely contrary to what they
had already adjusted to.
I was on my own. Not really, because I
was jumping over onto the path that I knew for sure my Beloved was on. I
was not exactly caught up to Him yet, but I knew that I must press on
regardless of what all of the others had chosen. I wanted nothing more
but to walk in the footsteps of my Beloved. And there I saw plainly
where He was stepping. Just as Father had said He would.
