The Path Way Of Bliss...
Walking the path less traveled can be a bit freeing yet intimidating.
It's obvious that I do not fit in...
Well, just maybe I am not supposed to!
Just because everyone else is doing it;
Does not make it right...
Discernment is considered old fashion!
Women are being led astray
Men are being led astray
Where are those that are willing to speak truth!
Why are we following the others to the ways of the world?
We have way too many influences that will lead you astray!
Many will do something wrong and then they will do it again!
Why, Because they got away with it!
Why, Because we do not want anyone to tell us what to do!
"RIGHT"
Well. you should be glad and count your blessings if
Someone in your life or your family sees a character flaw;
Or they see you going down a slippery slope.
We no longer want to be corrected!
Maybe it does feel really bad to be corrected;
But, I would rather be corrected than to be considered a fool!
Look, I no longer want to fit in with the in crowd or the higher echelon!
The great thing is that I can sleep at night knowing I did the right thing;
Or that I spoke the truth in love;
And I let the truth lead me in the right path!
It is not my job to convert anyone or to change their hearts!
I get to mind my own business and lead a quiet life;
Until the lie or the deception creeps up on my front porch.
If you ask for wisdom and the Lord gives it!
Do not try to reason it away with what the whole world is doing!
There are only two ways;
Right or Wrong
Living From Glory To Glory
Yes, so true. I’m different...many think I’m strange but as long as the Lord is pleased I need to be content.

Such wise words! We can only pray for those who are led astray. The Lord is always there for them. Sending hugs and blessings xx Karen
ReplyDeleteAh, thank you, Roxy. A wise and much-needed post. Thank you for the encouragement. I have been discouraged over the weekend, hearing much foolish talk in following the world's ways, from Christians. It is disheartening. May God give us grace to speak the truth in love.
ReplyDeleteBeing a Christian can sometimes be lonely. But you can go to bed, knowing you did what pleases God.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all that you have said, Roxy, No medium ground either right or wrong. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteSO TRUE !
Great post!
Irene
The older I get the more okay I am with being different. xo
ReplyDeleteRoxy, you always encourage me with your writings. Blessings
ReplyDeleteAlso in a season of 'being alone' and living with others who are not walking in our Savior's path...Difficult days. Now is not the time to follow diluted truth, for there is no such way! Lovely, encouraging words, thankyou, D.
ReplyDeleteExcellent words Roxy, and doing the right thing is almost always the hardest path to take! And receiving correction never feels good in the moment, but later you can be so thankful for it. Doing all things in love, yes, amen! Good good words!
ReplyDeleteThank you or sharing this with us...
ReplyDeleteThe world around us is filled to brimming with entrapments and enticements. But we are called to live a life pleasing unto the Lord. To be able to lay down at night with a clear conscience before Almighty God is better than anything the world could ever offer. Minding our own business and living a simple life is far more fulfilling. To be open and available to share the Gospel with those that need to hear it as the LORD gives opportunity. May the Lord bless your day!
