I’ve traveled many a road in my life. Not all have been good, many had a bad ending, but they have ALL taught me something that I could take with me and use on my spiritual journey. I’m not saying everything is beneficial, but in the economy of God, nothing is wasted.
In my early life I traveled the road of rejection.
Fatherless before the age of six months. He left my mother for God only knows what or why. I can’t judge the one who gave me life. And there is no bitterness. My natural father died many years ago and I miss him.
Motherless by the age of one. She went off to work in a munitions plant during WWII in order to survive and my grandmother took good care of me. She too has left and I am all alone without parents. She is greatly, and greatly missed. If only I knew then, what I think it is that I know now.
I traveled the road of greed and ambition to try and overcome by insecurities, poverty, and aloneness. I made the trip successfully (became a millionaire), but there was not satisfaction at the end of that trip.
I traveled the road of success and fame by losing the things that really mattered. But by then it’s too late to recover what’s lost.
I’ve traveled the roads of righteousness, religion, and remorse to name a few more. None satisfy! 
Along the way I detoured onto the spiritual roads but not for long. Too much of the world beckoned me. I’ve become an experienced traveler now and I’ve come to know that there is only one road for me. It’s the same road that Jesus, the Christ took. I’m following Him and hoping that I can do greater things than He though currently that seems impossible. But, since He said it, I’m believing it.
How about you?
What road(s) are you on?
Doing greater things than Jesus did…such as “waking (raising) the dead (spirit man)?”
