Give My Regards to Broadway: Choosing the Narrow Way That Leads to Life

Two diverging paths representing the broad way and the narrow way in Matthew 7:14

"Because straight is the gate and narrow is the way which leads unto life. And few there be that find it." – Matthew 7:14

Jesus teaches that there are two paths in life: the broad way and the narrow way. The broad way is the path many people travel, yet it ultimately leads to destruction. The narrow way, however, leads to life. Every person must decide which path they will follow and how they will live their life.

This teaching is a call to a higher consciousness the Christ Mind and to the highest version of oneself. Individuals must choose whether they will live primarily within the collective consciousness or awaken to the deeper awareness of Christ consciousness. Walking the narrow path involves transforming how we think, speak, and behave so that our lives reflect what is highest and best.

This journey unfolds through a spiritual process.

Firstly: A Way. Scripture reminds us that there is a way that seems right to human beings, yet the end of that path leads to destruction. In the subconscious valley of life, people search for ways to experience love, joy, peace, prosperity, success, and health. Within the collective consciousness, many coping strategies arise. Some people seek relief through addiction, people-pleasing, or intellectualizing emotions rather than truly healing.

The broad way is broad because it contains countless options for living that are disconnected from divine truth. Yet God redeems lives from destruction. Through divine grace, individuals are lifted out of destructive patterns of thinking, harmful words, and damaging behaviors that were never meant to define them.

Secondly: Your Way. As people search for a way, they eventually create their own way. Individuals choose one path among many possibilities within the collective consciousness. Yet human ways are often based on sense-consciousness what the eyes see, the ears hear, and the hands touch.

During this stage, individuals begin learning to trust in God with all their hearts and to lean not on their own understanding. As scripture teaches, when we acknowledge God in all our ways, God directs our paths. Slowly, people begin releasing their personal agendas and learning to pray as Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane: “Not my will, but Thy will be done.”

Thirdly: The Way. Eventually the journey moves beyond simply searching for a way or following your own way. It becomes the way. Jesus declared, “I AM the way.”

At this stage, individuals discover that life must be lived from the inside out. The spirit within becomes the guiding force, revealing the authentic self created by God. God's way is ultimately the way of love the love of God, the love of self, and the love of others.

Jesus demonstrated this path as both teacher and example. He revealed the Christ within as the hope of glory. This journey is not about religion alone; it is about a living relationship with God. As people follow this divine way, the path grows brighter and clearer, leading toward abundant life.

The narrow way is narrow because there is only one standard: love.

Conclusion. The narrow path leaves no room for envy, jealousy, bitterness, or malice. These represent ways of thinking, speaking, and acting that fall short of what is highest and best. To walk the narrow way, individuals must consciously release the broad path and choose the way of grace, mercy, forgiveness, and love.

Few may find this path because it requires a daily decision to love even when the world suggests another way. Yet the narrow path is the path that leads to life a life filled with joy, harmony, health, prosperity, and spiritual fulfillment.

This is the way. The way of the Spirit. The way of the I AM. The highest mountaintop consciousness.

📖 Reflection: In what areas of your life might you still be walking the broad path instead of the narrow path of love?

💡 Action Step: Today, intentionally choose one situation where you will respond with love, grace, and forgiveness rather than reacting from old patterns.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." Galatians 5:6 (KSB) With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values. When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall? Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself." Galatians 5:14 (KSB) Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love? When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others. In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer!

There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory.
