WHAT A TRIP

Many years ago, a few of us gals wanted to do something different--something daring--something exciting.  So we decided to go whitewater rafting on a cold October weekend.  We were very inexperienced.  In fact, one of the gals couldn't even swim.  As the Guide was talking to us, telling us the dangers that lay ahead--as we sat shaking--tightly clutching our paddles and huddled together in our tiny raft (while still on dry land)--he clearly discerened we wouldn't make it on our own! Therefore, the Guide decided it best to go in the raft with us and calmed our fears by saying, "I'll go with you!"  [See:  John 15:5]

It proved to be a very exciting trip.  We paddled hard, got drenched, swallowed a lot of water, slammed into a few rocks, got spun around, and were even tossed out of the raft.  But our Guide knew what to do--and he carefully watched over us--leading THE WAY.  He let us do our part, but when we got into deep water or trouble, he always rescued us.  He was always within arm's reach.  What a trip it was...what a journey!  And know this--your JOURNEY with JESUS will proved to be even more exciting and full of adventure, if you have the courage and the passion to go with Him.

Never forget that He is THE WAY...THE TRUTH...and He will give you a more abundant LIFE!  So, fasten your seatbelts...here we go!  [See:  John 14:6]
