He is the way, but the way He leads is not "the" way. I hope this does not sound confusing. The goal for me is to find the Lord and the way He leads me, but human tendency passes on the details of the "way" I was given as "the way."

Often I heard this little transition in personal testimonies. The sharing was great until the one giving the testimony began telling me how to repeat his/her testimony. At that point the person tried to make the way the Lord led him/her "the way" for others to take.
