These thoughts are to grow my faith and walk with God. The narrow road, contrary to how it is often perceived, allows doubt and encourages sincere, open-minded inquiry, free of partisanship. Hence the reason God calls it narrow. "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." Matthew 7:13-14 © Barb Harwood, 2008-present.
David Baily Harned, in his book, Patience: How We Wait Upon the World, notes that
"patience seems to have lost its power to reconcile and heal and comfort. In its truncated and withered form the virtue has been isolated from both theology and common experience--not to mention common sense."
