Faith is a Journey

Faith is an endless journey not a destination.  There are times of pain and sorrow and struggle…there are also times of joy and peace and comfort in ways you could have never imagined.  There are many who will assist as guides on this journey and be thankful for them while always remembering that there is only one leader to follow on this journey…Jesus.

When times are tough and it feels like God is so far away don’t quit seeking, don’t quit asking questions…pick up a bible…listen to some music…do whatever you do to meet with God.  Even when things are good and you feel blessed, go to that place or do the things you do to meet with our Lord and Savior to give him praise and thanksgiving.  The journey of faith and the journey of life do not have to be separate pursuits…life is temporary…but faith is eternal.  Put your faith first.  The world you tell you different things…the prince of this world wants you to only believe what you see and hear while you are here.  When things become overwhelming remember the words of Jesus…

“Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.  But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.”

                                                                                                Matthew 7:13-14

Peace be with you on the journey.
