Your Path...

Which way is the right way?

All of humanity is seeking the peace of God.  Everyone might not say it that way but I believe it to be true.  Every one of us does what we do in order to maintain, attract, or establish unwavering inner peace.

The world has numerous religions, and sects within each of those religions.  Which is the ‘right religion’, the ‘right sect’, or the ‘right way’ to the awareness of our connection to perennial joy?  I don’t have an answer for you because I am not the last word for you on your life, you are.  Equally true then is the realization that you are not the last word for another on their life, they are.

Each of us chooses our own path, our own way; some under the umbrella of an organized teaching, some with a personally developed spirituality all their own, and others with a strictly worldly perspective.

I believe that God loves all ‘His’ children equally and is simply ‘happy’ that we come home.  This point is made clearly in the story of “The Prodigal Son.”  The father cared neither where his son had been, nor what he had been doing; he was just happy he returned home.

Return ‘home’ via the path that calls out to you most deeply.  Begrudge no one the path they choose to travel even if they criticize yours; and if you feel attacked for your beliefs keep in mind (for yourself) Jesus’ counsel in John 15:12, “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”

Traveling with you on the path,

Rev. Brad
