Always a Road Forward

Peter J. Henniker-Heaton

To one finding his life in the universe of Spirit, which divine intelligence creates and governs, there are no dead-end streets. God always provides a way forward.

We have many of us had the experience of traveling on a large but uncompleted highway, then coming sharply on some such sign as "Road ends 500 feet." Or in less developed areas we have been on a track that becomes less and less distinct until it disappears in marsh or brush or rough rocks. This never happens on the way of Life, Truth, and Love.

To be brought up at a dead end in ordinary travel is frustrating enough. It is much more frustrating if some career or relationship or way of life we have been following in high hopes seems suddenly to be blocked. But in life there is always a way forward if we are willing to change our map. It may not be enough to look more closely at our present map; we often need to replace some map of material perception with one of spiritual sense.
