a fork in the road
threw indecision my way
left or right
a price to pay
one path almost spoke
come here and walk
you’ll never regret
the pleasures Ive wrought
the other was narrow
with pebbles and leaves
golden light flickered
warming the trees
I reached out my gaze
took my first step
years that was now
many pilgrims Ive met
heaven’s gate is beyond
to a world free of strife
I owe it all to that path
it gave me new life
The “gate” in the Bible is mentioned like the fork in the road. There is a broad gate to destruction people are distracted by stuff, pleasure, and gain but the end result is eternal pain. There are trials, stumbling, disappointment when you walk through narrow gate but at the end is rejoicing where Jesus awaits.
“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’
But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
Luke 13:24 & 25
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Matthew 17: 13 & 14
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6
