Finding Your Way

 By Andrea Merrell

 

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.

No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

John 14:6 NKJV

 

The woman was lost in a sea of self-doubt and hopelessness. Desperate for help, she turned to all the wrong things and found herself drowning in addictions, behaviors, and relationships that threatened to take her under.

I’ve seen it so many times. People trying to find peace and happiness. Struggling to find their way in this broken, perverted world we live in. They might seek therapy, self-medicate, or even try mind over matter. But when nothing helps, they feel completely lost.

Jesus said, “Come unto me.” But according to The Word for You Today, “He didn’t merely say, ‘Come to Me and I’ll show you the way,’ He said, ‘I am the way.’” He is the way to forgiveness. He is the way to peace and joy. He is the way to fulfillment in life. He is the way to everything we need or could ever desire ... for all eternity. And He is as close to us as a simple prayer.

Proverbs tells us, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (14:12 NKJV). There is no other way but Jesus.
