"All's Well That Ends Well"

"All's well that ends well" does not mean that a person may live a wicked life and still be all right at last, for the wrong road will never lead to the right goal.
Most people want to be on the right road, but they also like the wrong one. They remind me of a little boy who made some very fine mud pies and was sitting beside them crying bitterly. Someone asked why he was crying.
"I want to go home to dinner," he sobbed.
"Well, sonny, it's dinner time; run along home at once."
"But I want to stay here!" cried the little boy. And because he could not do both he sat and wept.
This is a true picture of many people: they would like to have both—the mud pies of this world, and the Bread of Life, the one now and the other hereafter. But it is clear that the prodigal son of Luke 15 could not sit by the swine trough and the father's table at the same time. One must be left, if the other is to be enjoyed. If you would walk in the road that ends well, you must leave the road which ends in death.
The Lord Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Do not be afraid to commit yourself in simple trust to Him.
If the past troubles your conscience, bring it to the Lord Jesus. His blood can cleanse away all its stains.
If you fear as you look into the future, bring your fears to Him. He can make you safe forever.
If the present is full of difficulties, bring them all to Him, for He can clear the way and give you peace and joy from day to day.
Come with your past, present and future to Him; all will then be well along the road, and all will be well at the end of it too.
"Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass." Psa. 37:55Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. (Psalm 37:5).
