God’s way is perfect (2 Samuel 22:31; NLT).
You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate… The gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it (Matthew 7:13-14; NLT).
Enter through the narrow gate;
Enter through your darkness.
Enter through your suffering:
For then you’ll find God’s way.
Follow Christ, who walks here, too;
Follow his example.
Follow in his steps each day:
For then you’ll learn God’s truth.
Love and serve all those you meet;
Love and serve each stranger.
Love and serve your enemies:
For then you’ll see God’s light.
Cling to Christ, whatever comes,
Praying in his Spirit.
God is in your suffering:
So seek God in your plight.
In all their suffering he also suffered, and he personally rescued them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them. He lifted them up and carried them through all the years (Isaiah 63:9; NLT).
