“Which path to take?” it says in the Canterbury & Christchurch Visitor Guide 2015 (AA Traveller).

“Check out these paths,” and “Well – Worn Path,” I am reading on other pages in the same Guide.

In Christchurch I am encouraged to check out the following paths:

There is the Latters Spur track from the PORT HILLS summit.

OTUKAIKINO WALK is another short trek and takes only half an hour.

BOTTLE LAKE FOREST PARK has several walking tracks.

Recreational walks can be made in HALSWELL QUARRY PARK. It is a 60.4 ha park.

THE GROYNES is not only a place with walking tracks and picnic areas, but there is also a dog exercise park. That is the ideal place for families.

There is also a beach with walking tracks called SUMNER.

I have been to Christchurch, but it is only now that I am reading about those paths.

Just as we are are on a physical journey we are also on a spiritual journey.

Which path to take, when it comes to our spiritual journey? And this is now really important.

Here is the answer of the Psalmist. We find his answer in Psalm 119:32:

“I run the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free.”

He is not walking on his path, he is running. Why is he running? Because his heart is set free!

The heart is set FREE foever

“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.” – Marcus Aurelius

This afternoon I read a book that is really in tatters, the spine is broken and someone has ripped out the pictures and I am surprised that it is still in one piece and that I picked it up at all.

It is the book called PRECIOUS THINGS OF THE LASTING HILLS  by Isobel Kuhn with a foreword by Mildred Cable. It is a CHINA INLAND MISSION BOOK. It was first printed before I was born. In the book I found the following quote by Oswald Chambers:

“To go the second mile means to do always your duty, and a great deal more than your duty, in the spirit of loving devotion that does not even know it had done its duty.”

But how glad I am that I picked it up and read the 79 pages. When I finished reading the last chapter, chapter five, I was really moved and almost in tears.

I think the book is so worn out because it has had many readers. I think I will read it again!
