How long have you been on your journey? I've been on mine for about 19 years. It has contained times of joy ad sadness. Many people have joined me, and many I left behind. However, one person has never left my side during this long trip.His name is Jesus.He has been around for every tear and every smile. Even when I was not focused on Him He was focused on me.He will be apart of my journey until the day I finally reach my destination.
We are all on a journey. We are all going to end up somewhere and each day we travel closer and closer to the finish line. My question is where are you at in your journey? Are you weak and tired, are you moving forward, or are you going backwards.Is your journey filled with joy, or filled with sorrow?
Regardless of where you are at in your journey one thing is affecting you. Faith. When we are moving forward in our journey we have an abundance of faith.We grab the Lords hand and walk happily along in life.Knowing whatever comes our way we can handle with our God at our side. When our faith is running low we become weak and don't have the strength to carry on.However, when we can't carry on, Jesus carries us. He picks us up and carries us along the path. When we have no faith, and Jesus is far from our minds we move backwards in our journey. This is where the Lord pleads with us. He begs us to turn around, to follow him.
In any situation he is there. We experience each stage of the journey over and over. This journey is not easy and it is long and tiresome, but gosh that destination. Oh the memories. Every journey tells a story of love, faith, and amazing grace. Your journey may be hard right now, but every time you have met a bump in the road Jesus has been there. Holding you in his arms when you feel like you can't go on. It is by his love only that you have made it through those rough spots. By his love he carried you out of the darkness and back to the lamp lit path. You will overcome the weakness by His amazing strength. He gives when we are in need, and he leads when we are lost. When we move backwards he runs after us. He will plead with us and remind us of all he has done for us. He will show us is love until our faith overwhelms our heart with joy and we run to our father's arms.
Thank God I'm on a journey. Thank God my journey hasn't been easy. Thank God He has never left my side. Thank God for my most beautiful final destination.Thank God I'm headed home.
