Road of Holiness

"There will be a highway there, called "The Road of Holiness." No sinner will ever travel that road; no fool will mislead those who follow it.
No lions will be there; no fierce animals will pass that way. Those whom the Lord has rescued will travel home by that road.
They will reach Jerusalem with gladness, singing and shouting for joy. They will be happy forever, forever free from sorrow and grief."
(Isaiah 35:8-10)
It was the part of yesterday's reading of the gospel. It has been inspiring me to the large extent that I poured out all my hope in God. It made me ready to give up everything and take up the cross and follow Jesus. My heart was stirring with the delight when I read, "They will be happy forever, forever free from sorrow and grief." It was because I thought that the world was too dangerous and influencing that it could chase God's love out of it. I am wondering whether I will meet the conservative person who share the same thought. Sometimes, I wish that I would meet the certain person who share the same thought so that we can help each other and pray together. But life is unfair. So it is ideal for me to stay independent.

Hi Michael, This post and this verse is so powerful. It is something that gives me idea for the next youth prayer meeting in April. We can call it "The Road to Forever"... hahaa...
