This morning I was meditating on Matthew 7 and the following thought came to me.
"Enter through the narrow gate... For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it." Matthew 7:13-14 (NRSV)
Why is the path narrow and pressing?
Because it transforms you, from the inside out. That kind of transformation only happens through deep intimacy with Jesus.
Most people stay comfortable in who they’ve become, even if it’s far from who God created them to be. But comfort can quietly lead to idleness… and eventually, destruction.
When you truly follow Jesus, He doesn’t just lead you He molds you.
The narrow way stretches you, shapes you, presses you. It brings you to a place of full surrender, where you're no longer relying on your own strength but on His joy, peace, patience, righteousness, and love.
It’s in that surrendered space that His strength is made perfect in our weakness, not to make us look strong, but so He gets the glory through our obedience.
So if you’re feeling the pressure right now, don’t run from it.
That may be the exact place where God is shaping you into who you were always meant to be. Ask God to reveal the area to surrender to allow His perfect will to flow through you.
