I have been reading a classic literary masterpiece called Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan. It was written in the 1600s by a man who was jailed for his noncomformist preaching. It is more difficult to read if you haven’t read an allegory before.

Anyways, I am halfway through this book and have found some great quotes and caught on to how this can relate to our lives. Below is one of my favorite quotes from the book so far.

“For I perceive the way of life lies here. Come, pluck up heart, let’s neither faint nor fear; Better, though difficult, the right way to go, Than wrong, though easy, where the end is woe.”

I love this quote because it explains so simply how to live our lives. We know it’s not always easy to do the right thing but it pays off in the end after we have breathed our last breath and face eternity.

Are you choosing what’s right even though it’s difficult?

A Prayer For You

Lord thank You for this time of season where we are reminded of You and Your faithfulness. Thank You for using John Bunyan 300 years ago to remind us now how we should live our lives. Please give us the courage and grit to continue choosing the right path when faced with trials and temptations. In Jesus’ name, amen.
