People Along The Way


What direction? Where will I go? Who shall I meet? Does anyone care? All of the questions have deep significance for someone, maybe someone you will meet or pass along the way on your Journey.

The key question is will you recognize the opportunity or miss the it, most of us are so busy that we miss opportunity after opportunity to have our lives enriched by countless numbers of people. Why?

I want to submit for your consideration that we have become so busy and narcissistic that we have lost in the confusion of our personal lives the ability and some time the capacity to "unconditionally ascribe worth to another at a cost to oneself" You see, that is what true love is, and interestingly enough when you and I sacrifice our idol of narcissism for the sake of seeing and considering others, before ourselves we will in fact be loving our neighbor as our self.

Some times the Journey is tough and to be entirely frank, more days then I want to admit are filled with my own little idols of narcissism but I don't give up, how about you, feel like giving up some times? Don't the Journey is worth it.

It is worth following this blog just to have your screen tell you:
"You are now following Ramblings of a Follower"
Twisted!

But nevertheless good!! I too am following and find it so necessary to keep my eyes on the KING! Friends of ours, "Star's" are in Ohio with a grandchild (5 yrs) fighting cancer. Pray for them! God is faithful, God is good, He is true no matter what we see or hear, help us help them to fix their gaze and trust through this.
