A
DEAD END: Call it a Cul de sak, impasse, or standstill- it all means
the same thing, STOP, you can’t go further! I have never,
ever, been to the end of a famous route like ROUTE 66, but I have
seen some “ends” - grade school, high school, college, boyhood,
career, etc..
Things
end, its just part of life. When you experience this, you just move
forward and become something else. But, and I do mean BUT- you have
to face the consequences of your past actions. Face it, there WILL be
a PAYDAY, someday. It may be a GOOD PAYDAY, or NOT- that depends on
what you have done. Led a sinful life; you will pay for it. If you
have chosen God and lived the life that the Almighty wants, heaven.
The
apostle Paul puts it this way….
Ephesians
2 (World English
Bible)
1 You
were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, 2 in
which you once walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now
works in the children of disobedience; 3 among
whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the
desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of
wrath, even as the rest. 4 But
God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved
us, 5 even
when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with
Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and
raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly
places in Christ Jesus, 7 that
in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace
in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; 8 for
by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of
yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not
of works, that no one would boast. (emphasis
added) 10 For
we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which
God prepared before that we would walk in them.
The
end of the road you’re on doesn’t have to end going nowhere.
Choose God and his will for your life and whatever happens,
ultimately you will go up (and I do mean HEAVEN).
The
choice you make will have eternal consequences.
