Which path?

Someone once asked me what happened to cause me to become more interested in God and the church, and what motivated the growth of my faith. I answered that although I had long lived a rebellious life, God was nearly always on my mind. One day, in a frightening moment of confronting my moral failures, I finally admitted I could not save myself, that in fact, I was slipping deeper into a dark abyss even as I was trying to be good and do good things in my name, for my acclaim. That was when I realized nothing I could do would equal the ransom necessary to save my life. Then, seeing my utter failure as a saint, I remembered Jesus had already paid my ransom. I just needed to embrace him and thank him for it.

Indeed, living to the glory of self is a crooked path leading toward a dead-end. But living for the glory of God is a bright straight-line path leading into eternity. Which path will you choose to take?
