The Way, the Truth, and the Life.

It's simple. I read it just the other day. It's simple, but it made sense, and it's kind of profound too. I thought so anyway... What do you think? 

"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. " John 14:6

Without the Way, there is no going; without the Truth, there is no knowing; without the Life, there is no living. I am the Way, which you ought to follow; the Truth which you ought to believe, the Life, which you ought to hope for. I am the way invioable, the Truth infallible, the Life unending. I am the Way that is straightest, the truth that is highest, the life that is truest, the Life blessed, the Life uncreated. If you remain in My way, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:31,32), and you shall lay hold on eternal life."
                                                                                                                      -Thomas a Kempis (The Imitation of Christ.)

When you comment:

1. My day will be brighter, my face smiling, and my heart blessed.

2. I’m likely to immediately go and explore your blog (if you have one) to find out more of your amazingness, and return the blessing.

3. I will then attempt to craft a response to you that will somehow fail to convey how much I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and kindness. I’m grateful for every word of encouragement you give, and don’t be afraid to share some constructive criticism also; there’s always more to learn. In short: thank-you! :)
