How To Enter The Gate And Stay On The Path That Leads To Everlasting Life

Having recently visited the home of poet, Robert Frost in Derry, New Hampshire, I walked a number of the beautiful autumnal little trails on his property that inspired his famous lines, “I took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” 

I've always been able to relate to those words on a spiritual level, having opted in my teen years to take our Lord's advice to “Enter through the narrow gate, because the gate is wide and the way is spacious that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.  How narrow is the gate and difficult the way that leads to life, and there are few who find it!" (Matthew 7:13-14)

Entering that narrow gate and traversing that challenging terrain on the narrow way has, at times, been anything but easy, but the views from that upward climb are not to be missed, and I've not for a moment regretted that decision made so many years ago!
