Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado

There are fifteen miles of trails to explore in the Garden of the Gods, and some of you reading this blog have covered everyone of them.
Some trails are accessible to everyone, and others that are not. Some are on the east side of the park and others on the west. There are trails that pass by the base of these rock formations, and others that put the hiker at a distance from their splendor.
These trails guide the visitor through the majesty of the park.
God's light leads us to that place where he dwells. We may come from different parts of the world with different gifts, passions, abilities, personalities and experiences, yet it is the one light of God that leads us to him.
That light is Jesus Christ.
We do a great deal of wandering in life. And sometimes the wandering is far from God's path. We travel a path where happiness is our ultimate goal. People, institutions, and religions are used to make us happy.Yet, the pursuit of happiness is often the journey to nowhere.
Even when we wander, the light of Christ's love leads us back to the place where we find life, and that place is where God dwells.
"Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell." Psalm 43:3 New International Version
