Come, follow Me

Is it in our human nature to hedge our bets, take the path of least resistance, make life easier on ourselves in the moment without a view for long range impact? This is for me to ask myself, for you to ask yourself, can you see the horizon from your view point, or is the tip of your nose getting in the way. Fear, that dubious not to be trusted ever present companion, has its way with many of us that live in the here and now and the temptations that present themselves to endulge in immediate gratification. Fear has a way of saying if not now, then when? What if this opportunity never comes back my way and it was my ONLY chance? Take what you can get and you only live once are the short legged lies that fear can use to ensnare its victim. Shortsightedness can shortchange and the price for indulgence can be hefty monetarily and in all ways of the pysche and soul. Angry words, reactionary responses, doing what feels good rather than what is honourable and just, white lies that take on shades of grey turning to black...traps, all of them. My mind, it is occupied with One Man, the perfect Lamb of God. I persue Him, the image of Truth, Light, Love. He is my example, my measuring stick. Seeing with the eyes of love, that is my ultimate goal and my Teacher takes me by the hand and is leading me there. He has His hand extended to you too, with the welcome of "Come, follow Me". Will you accept His invitation?
