shortcut to heaven

i was driving on the road one fine morning with my dad by my side. earlier that morning, 'You are takng the wheels today' he said to me before i got into the backseat. 'umm..okay' i replied, close the door and took the keys from him.

while on the road, after picking up my brother from tuition, my dad asked me to take a different route home. noOoOoo.. i don't like new roads. what's wrong with the old route we usually take?? but i didn't say anything. i drove on but later i blurted out ' i can't remember the new route. you will have to show me the way' well thankfully he did. because if he didn't, God knows where we will be half an hour later.

after 10 minutes on the road, i felt much more relax. then i saw kota kemuning -2km- with a white arrow pointing left on the green sign board. just then my dad asked ' you know how to get home from here?' 'yea' i replied. thanks to the sign board

then this thought hit me. how nice it would be if instead of kota kemuning -2km- with a white arrow pointing left on the green sign board, it was eternal life -5 miles- with a red arrow pointing left on the probably a white sign board or maybe BEWARE: sufferings ahead -2miles-. then we would probably take a detour or turn in right.

life would be so much easier, isn't it?

all we have to do is just follow the sign borads carefully then we will be suffering-free!! ain't that great?? why wouldn't God think of such a brillant idea??

because this life is a life we live by FAITH!!

yeS! if we were to just follow signboards, then we need not be obedient to God. because we know that no matter which route we take, we are bound to find a U-turn and start all over. then there will be no need for Jesus to descend from heaven to earth to die on the corss for us for our sins now, would there?

every turn we make, every step we take, we do it by faith!! but even so, we need to be obedient to God and just be so one with His desires. if He desires us to take the road less taken , then wouldn't be be foolish to take the otherwise??

let's face reality. there is no U-turn in this life we live. ok, maybe there is but if for 60 years of our life we had been on the wrong route, then if we were to take a U-turn, what gurantee is there that we will be able to make it back to the start before we breath our last breath except by God's mercy and grace that He provide us with a shortcut. so even there is a U-turn in our spiritual walk with Christ, let's live as if there is none so that we would be able to take each step with utmost precaution knowing that one wrong step may lead us to great regret that may last for eternity.


let's tune our hearts to His desires and focus on Him alone throughout our walk with Him. let not any route seem greener than the one He desires us to walk on and cause us to stray away. let's live our life in total obedience to God. let's open our ears to hear and eyes to see God's heart so that we may not tread on the wrong path. let our heart desires be His heart desires.
