I just wanted to feel satisfied; I have looked for something all my life. I traveled the extremely busy roads of drugs, and drinking, on the evil side of the highway. I thought at initial glance this had to be the right road since it always had very intense traffic on it.
I traveled this road for miles and miles thou still something was missing it seamed to be heading somewhere very extraordinary or why else would so many nations of people be on this course. You would come to a four-way intersection and it would say, north to kill the hurting, south to relieve your mind, east to boast your spirit, west to a fresh existence.
I stayed at the intersection for a long time trying to settle on which way to go, I had found no highway thus far to take me where I could feel true peace, I choose west this occasion. The road was very empty; I thought for sure I had made the wrong decision for the lack of traffic I wanted to turn around and go back, a little voice told me to keep driving….
I said to myself, I would drive a while to see if anything looks appealing or different for the roads I traveled before. I drove for miles and not a soul insight. I frightened me I thought well I had better turn around before I am lose, thou I saw something ahead that read this is the road to the rest of your life, that intrigued me. Therefore, I just kept on driving.
I wondered what would be the next sign I would read. I few more miles down the road there was another four-way intersection and the signs read as followed. Choose a route to heaven or hell, no reentry, one way, so make your selection…. The highway to heaven or the highway to hell it’s up to you.
I had never been on the heaven highway so I thought the only thing left for me to do is tries this one, what do I have to loss anyway. I turned on a new highway, I could tell right off the bat this was the right road, the signs of love and forgiven were everywhere. The aroma of the road was like no other, it was as if I was driving threw the Garden of Eden; I could not roll my window down far enough to breathe in the wonderful scent.
The billboards where radiant with heavenly lights and a heavenly message, here are a few signs I read along the way, fathers heavenly love straight ahead, healing lane at the next corner, meet God at the conclusion of this road. This highway did not have many travelers. However, I knew I had finally found the road to eternal life.
I can give you directions to the road, first look for the road that looks vacant, and take it then wait for the signs along the way. They will be right in front of your heart just open it up and look with your eyes open wide. The devil will try to deceive you, and put up a roadblock or two to make you to turn back. Never turn back from Gods highway follow, your heart it will lead to you be fully satisfied in life and life to come.
