"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
It would be so easy to just follow the crowd and do things that we know are sinful. The Devil makes the sinful life look very appealing. I know through my experiences, many if not all of those people are not truly happy. They may find temporary happiness, but when you sit down and talk with them, you quickly realize they are missing something in their lives. That thing they are missing is God. I am far from perfect, but I pray daily that God will help me as I attempt to walk the narrow road and live my life according to God's will.
This happens to be where the phrase 'straight and narrow' comes from: "Straight is the gate and narrow is the way." Thought that was an interesting fact...
