Friends,
The narrow path led me to the circus. I came in through the Clown's Entrance. The symbolism here is that I thought that I would be ridiculed by others for going on the Road to the Crown of Life. The circus is a symbol,to me, of the world. And at the circus were very entertaining people. And people want to be entertained. But it was the Rider on the White Horse that I believe that people miss. My friends wanted to focus on the entertainers. But it was the Rider that I wanted to focus on, for He is the one that I followed to get to the City of Peace. The entertainers were a distraction to me and were symbols, to me, of the distactions and temptations in the world that I had to overcome.
The world, I believe, has made us believe a lie that we must be entertained. We seek another "Kick" and "kicks just keep harder to find" as the song goes.And ther are many temptations in the world that can ruin us.
There are many other symbols in the circus scene. But my journey is about overcomming. It is not ment in any way to entertain you. I actually experianced all that you read in my posts. Those events actually happpened to me.
When I met the Rider face to face, He said to me, "Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall recieve the Crown of Life which the Lord has promised to those that love Him."
