The Merge

Behind the wheel. Driving. Down the speedway she flew. Where she was headed, she didn't know. With the windows down, she felt the wind blow through her long brown locks. The radio blared loud as she tried to tune out the world... focused on the things that she knew distracted her the most. Confidently cruising with only one hand on the wheel, she saw the sign notifying her of her upcoming exit. While hesitant, she put her blinker on and switched lanes, moving over to the far right. While cruising had been so easy, she found herself feeling a new feeling as she exited the speedway. The ramp carried her up and off the speedway as she barreled toward the service road. As she neared, she noticed a simple triangular sign. The sign was familiar but she realized that she had never really paid attention before. The sign was red and white, shaped like an upside down triangle with the tip pointing directly at the ground. She slowed as she neared, reading the lone word that was written in red lettering on the white and red sign. While she had always known what this word meant, it hadn't registered as to what was about to happen in her life. YIELD it read. With both hands now on the wheel, she put her foot on the brake, looking over her right shoulder she began to merge with a new way... a different way... a better way... it was His way. She was yielding to God's precious love, yielding to God's perfect peace, and yielding to God's endless joy... She had yielded to Him. Her now merged heart put her on a NEW path...a path that leads her on the road to eternal life.
