"Jesus answered, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" He is the only way. Jesus is THE way, THE truth, and THE life! There is no other! Many people have fallen to the traps of the enemy. He puts lies in their heads and hearts to make them take a different path than the one that they were made to take. He twists the truth in their minds so that what's real becomes nothing, and what doesn't matter becomes the most important. He shows them other ways and tells them the lie that any of these roads you take will give you life. He tricks their hearts into believing that life can be found in anything you search for it in. So many people run after fame, money, approval, and so many more things. By their hearts are so overgrown with weeds that the enemy has planted that there is no more room for the Way, the Truth, and the Life. This is the enemy's strategy. But God can overcome it. He is strong enough to yank out every single weed growing in our hearts. If we let Him, He will. But He has given us a choice. He doesn't force us to follow Him or live Him. He gives us free will. He lets us choose, life or death. That's because He loves us and wants us to truly love Him, for real. Real love is not forced, it's chosen. But sadly, many people don't see the truth. They walk on the wrong path in darkness without knowing that there's a Light. The enemy has them fooled. It breaks my heart. That could've been me! God has blessed me so much by giving me a family that follows Jesus! But not everyone has that. That's why God sends us, to go to the hurting, the brokenness, to walk into the darkness to bring the Light! We can not let our hearts be overgrown with the weeds of the enemy. With God, we will gain victory over the enemy! Let God lead you wherever He has planned! For that is what true life is!
