U-Turn

“Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts.” Joel 2:12

A car can only go forward or backwards, but never at the same time. A car can never go in two different directions at the same time either. In order for a car to begin traveling in a different direction it must be turned and made to go that way.

Our Spiritual lives are very similar to the ability of a car. We can either go forward or backward but never at the same time. We also cannot go in two different directions at the same time.  In order for us to begin traveling in a new direction we too must be turned and made to go that way.

There are only two directions we can travel, the direction of heaven or the direction of hell. Though we all begin traveling in the direction of hell we have also been given the opportunity to make a U-Turn and travel in the direction of heaven.

This was made possible by the Creator Himself when He sent His Son to die on the cross for each of us. It is that very cross that allows us to turn our Spiritual cars (hearts) around.

We each have a choice, when we come to the “light” we can either keep traveling in the direction of hell, or we can make a U-turn, by confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, and begin traveling in the direction of heaven.

Which direction are you going?

Prayer: Lord take control of our Spiritual cars and drive us in the direction that leads to You. Amen
