Hebrews 12:13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
Walking a straight line instead of going back and forth is always going to be easier! So why do we choose the longest path possible sometimes?
God would rather we stand up and be counted, walk with pride and keep to His ways to give others goals to aim for rather than go off the rails and bring others down.
You don’t have to be perfect to be a Christian – we are all broken; we have an awesome Saviour who wants to help us walk tall.
