Heading In The Right Direction

I'm constantly hopping on the train up to London. Personally, I love London and all it has to offer. For many, however, the idea of leaving the idyllic and picturesque villages of the English coastline, to enter a city so vast can be daunting, if not terrifying. Many people say it's the prospect of losing their way in such an immense city that frightens them the most.

We can lose the way too on our journey through life, and that's a much more serious business than finding the right street in a town or city. It's particularly frightening when we're not sure what our final destination is, because then we don't even know where to start. But Jesus said, 'I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Anyone who follows Me will have eternal life.'

That is, in fact, where we're heading, but the way is not always clear to our limited human minds and hearts. So we're called to trust in the Lord and follow Him wherever He asks us to go, whatever challenges He asks us to face, whatever sufferings He asks us to endure.

And if we do go astray, we know that He will never abandon us, because as He told us,

'it is never the will of your Father in Heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.'
