“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, only a few find it.”
Lord, I want to take the road less traveled; the long, windy, and treacherous path that leads to the narrow gate. I want to avoid the easy, the tempting, and the sinfully delectable. I want to be unorthodox, radical, revolutionary, and authentic. Everyday may I check my normalcy, and see where I fall in line and compromise with the world. Be my guide and my rudder, directing my path and altering my course. Flee me from the clutches of the enemy and into the arms of my Heavenly Father. Run after me Father as I run after You. I don’t want to turn back, veer off, or stop what You are calling me to pursue. Let me run hard, fast, and with endurance, never looking back at what I’ve left behind. I want to cultivate trees along the way that produce abundant fruit. May I be a mustard seed that spreads rapidly and ferociously, which leaves its mark on everything that it goes through. I want to be recognized by my fruit!
