Standing at the gas pump filling my tank, I could tell that the car slowly coming toward me was lost. Lowing her window, the driver asked, “Excuse me. Are you from around here?” “Yes,” I said. With that I got to show up the GPS and give her the precise directions to her destination. “I could see how you could miss that. When you come to the second light, take a left and then an immediate right. You’ll find your way.” “Thank you so much! I could never have found it without you.”
So are you a little lost on the journey? Looking to pull over and ask for directions? A wise man once said, even a genius is lost in a foreign land with a map! Make sure you are asking the correct person for directions. But first, make sure you know where you are going…or where you want to go.
Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going: how can we know the way? Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” -John 14: 5-6
Disciples show people the way. Two days ’til LENT!!
Yes! I have been lost- but now have found my way in Jesus! Thank you- for reminding us- to paynif forward and be open to helping strangers find their way too!
Great way to start our Lenten journey.
