When We Lost Sight of Our Path
– continuing from "Moves at the Speed of Life" –
I pray you’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t knowLet this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe
…
(Josh Groban - The Prayer)
Some of us may have realized that our life is a journey, a journey of the heart which resonate ours since we’re young through stories which tell us that things aren’t what they seem, that we’re at battle - the battle of good and evil, as the Hero try to save us by grace, and the villain attempt to captivate our heart by destroying life and hope - while deceive us that he’s not there, because a losing heart person can’t find any battle to fight.
He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (John 8:44 NIV)
But even for those who knows the truth, the journey still not become easy for them. Some don’t really want to be rescued - the reason Chyper betrayed Neo and rest of the free world, some often have to die or lose their friends and beloved, and sometimes it seems they don’t get an happy ending… however, everyone has a role in a story and we always have the freedom to choose our own path as God has given us free will.
A veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. (2 Corinthians 3:15-16 NIV)
Just remember, in order to have a safe journey we have to look ahead as well as look back, and when we lost sight of our path, listen for the destination in our heart… don’t forget: at the end of our journey what matters is not what we got, but what we did!
