I’m learning that once I give my heart to Jesus, and let Him lead my life, I begin down a road whose construct, design and destination are all orchestrated by God. It is so that I will never leave His road, by His grace, sovereignty, and love. That He loves me even when I make a bad choice – that even so, He promises to keep me going forward. My choices may lead me into a pot hole or two, or delay me behind a lane of traffic, or over some junk that leads to a flat tire, or even take a detour around some construction – but God will never leave me or abandon me; His road is the road of life, under His design.
I think of Roman’s 5:1-8
