There are always two roads in front of us. Every day—honestly, every moment—we’re making choices. One road offers you something specific, something real and lasting. The other promises anything and everything your heart desires… but it never really delivers.
The truth is, we choose based on our appetite. So let me ask you—what are you hungry for?
It’s not always easy to see it, but we’re always choosing between two things: life or death. And I don’t mean physical death—I’m talking about the kind of death that slowly drains your joy, your peace, and your purpose. The crazy part? That path doesn’t look dangerous at first. It actually looks exciting, glamorous, and full of opportunity.
You think: If I just get married, I’ll be fulfilled. If I have enough money, I’ll finally be at peace. If I try this one thing, I’ll be satisfied. But after the high wears off, you realize it wasn’t enough. It never is. You need more. And more. And more. Because the things we chase outside of God only offer temporary satisfaction. They're like spiritual junk food—tastes good for a moment, but leaves you empty and craving something real.
But then Jesus steps in. And He says, “Come to Me, all of you who are tired and burdened, and I’ll give you rest.” He doesn’t just say, “Try harder” or “Fix yourself.” He says, “Let me carry that for you.” He invites us to walk the narrow road—the one that leads to real life. A life filled with peace, freedom, and purpose.
It’s wild because we’re so used to being sold lies that when truth shows up, it feels unfamiliar. But when you say yes to Jesus, when you choose that narrow path, everything changes. You’re no longer being drained—you’re being filled. You’re no longer sold out—you’re bought with a price.
Just look at our world today. Wars, division, greed, fear—it all flows from what we’re hungry for. But what if we flipped the script? What if we started hungering and thirsting for Jesus? What if we craved the things of God more than the things of this world?
