Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.

Let us not be afraid of the road that is ahead of us. Though we pass through darkened forests and parched fields. Though the birds circle over us as vultures searching for carrion and we hear our names whispered as eulogies on the wind. Let us not be afraid.

God has put this road before us. He has set us on the right path. No matter where the path leads, He is already at the goal. Waiting for us. Beckoning us forward.
