The Road Of Life
Author: Unknown
At first I saw God as my observer, my judge, keeping track of the things I
did wrong, so as to know whether I merited heaven or hell when I die, He was
our there sort of like a president. I recognized His picture but I didn't
really know him.
But later on, when I met Christ it seemed as though life were rather like a
bike ride. But it was a tandem bike, and I noticed that Christ was in the
back helping me pedal.
I don't know just when it was that He suggested we change places, but life
has not been the same since.
When I had control, I knew the way it was rather boring and predictable...
It was the shortest distance between two points.
But when He took the lead, He knew delightful long cuts up mountains and
through rocky places at break-neck speeds, it was all I could do to hang on!
Even though it looked like madness, He said, "Pedal!"
I worried and was anxious and asked, "Where are you taking me?" He laughed
and didn't answer, and I started to learn to trust.
I forgot my boring life and entered into the adventure. And when I'd say,
"I'm scared!" He'd lean back and touch my hand.
He took me to people with gifts that I needed, gifts of healing, acceptance,
and joy. They gave me gifts to take on my journey, my Lord's and mine.
And we were off again. He said, "Give the gifts away; they're extra
baggage, too much weight." So I did to the people we met, and I found that
in giving I received, and still our burden was light.
I did not trust Him, at first, in control of my life, I thought He'd wreck
it; but he knows bike secrets, knows how to make it bend to make sharp
corners, knows how to jump to clear high rocks, knows how to fly to shorten
scary passages.
And I am learning to shut up and pedal in the strangest places, and
beginning to enjoy the view, and the cool breeze on my face, with my
delightful constant companion, JESUS CHRIST.
And when I'm sure I just can't do anymore, He just smiles and says ...
"Pedal."
"And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children
which God hath given me." -Hebrews 2:13
"en verder: Ek sal my vertroue op Hom stel; en verder: Hier is Ek en die
kinders wat God My gegee het." -Hebrews 2:13
