Did all the world see the brightest star? Only a handful knew they could follow it. The Shepherds leaned in, hearkened to angels. The wise men seeking, followed the leading. They had to humble themselves to an infant in a drinking trough of a stable. They experienced the extraordinary and believed in the poorest setting, while the high rollers of Bethlehem danced and played their flutes. Isn’t it the same today? He invites eternal light. Those of the narrow way will follow Him. Heaven will be quite the opposite of the pittance beginnings, for the Lord of all came to redeem mankind from the fall. King Jesus on His throne, the red carpet unrolled for the royal court — those who chose the narrow path, not the wide gate of popularity. Shouldn’t you receive the greatest gift of all? Our time on earth is limited. To infinity and beyond is where the true party’s at. The white light of the pearly gates beckons - do not wait to yearn for them. It would be too late by then. 12/14/2021 Matthew 7:13 (Jesus said) “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.” Isaiah 35:8 And there will be a highway called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel it--only those who walk in the Way--and fools will not stray onto it.

Only the humble could see the star and follow its trail. The others could never conceive that a stable... the poorest dwelling would serve as the setting for Jesus's birth. You are right Kim...only those who walk through the narrow gate will be able to enter the palatial portals of heaven !

The palatial portals of heaven…I love that! We are never good enough, but let us be humble and put on the righteousness of our Savior Jesus Christ! Amen!

So true Kim. So many are materialistic and care not for the spirituality that leads to eternal bliss. Hugs.

Too many want pleasures right now, at all costs, but it will cost them everything! God bless you!
