The Narrow Way

The term "the narrow way" has changed for me today.

In my past I have thought of that term in regards to a path, a journey, following Christ.

Today it is about denying the false self within me; but not killing the true self within me. Not killing the desires and dreams that God is putting within me; yet being patient to act in His time, not mine.

This is a very, narrow, knife edge of living for me. I am finding it takes an awakeness, an attention to within and without at the same time. Not throwing what is placed in my hand, and not grasping it either. This is a very narrow space in which to move... yet I hope the fruit of it will be wider than the horizons.

I hope it is a practice that I will be able to mature in and will become more and more natural to me. I hope I find the way to dance here...
