Enter Through the Narrow Gate

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. — Matthew 7:13-14 

God calls us to enter through the narrow gate.

The road that leads to destruction is wide.

And many go through it.

But the gate is small that leads to life.

And the road is narrow.

That's why only a few people find it.

And even then, many are reluctant to go through it.

But God will guide us each step of the way.

Enter Through the Narrow Gate

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. — Matthew 7:13-14 

God instructs us to enter through the narrow gate.

It leads to life eternal.

But not everyone finds it.

The road to destruction is broad.

And the gate to sin is wide.

But the gate to eternal life is narrow.

And we are blessed to have found it.

How Wide Is the Love of Christ

I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. — Ephesians 3:17-18

I pray that I will be rooted and established in the love of Christ.

And I pray that for my family and friends.

For all the Lord's holy people.

As we grow in the love of Jesus, I pray that He will empower us to love others.

And that way may begin to grasp the depth and breadth of the Christ's love for us.

It seems incomprehensible.
