Connected To The Source

               We  lived  on  a  side  street  with  very  little  traffic.
          Additionally,  it was  slightly  sloped down  and  away from  our
          house.   Consequently, it was a  great place for riding bikes and
          sledding in the winter.

               One day, when I was probably 8 years old, I walked out on to
          the street in the summer time.  I stopped just as I step into the
          road.  There was no traffic  coming from either direction.  As  I
          stood  there, I  suddenly  realize  that the  very  street I  was
          standing on could take me to any  place I might want to go in the
          United states.  Why?  Because the street in front of my house was
          interconnected  to  every street  and  road  in  America.   If  I
          followed the streets, I could go anywhere.   Plus, standing on my
          street connected me to every street in the country.

               Perhaps that is you today.  You are wondering just where you
          are in  God.  Well, if you are born again, you are on a road that
          God built  and that road  interconnects through a series  of life
          experiences.   Regardless of where  you are, that road  is taking
          you to the final destination which Jesus has prepared for us.  In
          short, you are connected to the Body of Christ all over the world
          right now.  Some  people you have never met are  praying for you.
          People that God  has planned for you  to meet one day  will cross
          your street and  you will become close  friends.  It may  seem as
          though we are lost  at times, too, but the Holy  Spirit is keenly
          familiar  with all  the twists  and  turns up  ahead and  He will
          direct your paths if you acknowledge Him throughout your journey.
          He also knows  the destination.   It isn't as  far as you  think.
          Just stay on the road and look up.
