Walking with You

They say life is about the journey, as much as it is the destination..

And I think they are right. Yes, destination is heaven, Eternal Life, and happily ever after, but I do believe that God is equally interested in our journeying, our walk, our day-to-day, our 'living'.. the PROCESS of growing closer to Him, learning to love Him more, experiencing His faithfulness, and learning to walk with more faith and less fear, learning to trust in FACTS that we believe to be true, instead of being troubled by the equally real FEELINGS that so often cloud the former.

I want to live, truly live..

And to do that I know that i'll have to embrace the fact that i'll never 'arrive' or 'make it' until the very final day... the day I breathe my last with these earthly lungs. That glorious Day when we who believe are all gathered together and up, to be united forever with the invisible one we've been looking to all our lives.. our Maker, Lover, Saviour and Father.

And so I rest..

Knowing that this day, imperfect as it was, or rather, imperfect as I was in living it.. will soon pass. As will the days ahead. As will trials and hardship, victories and joys. But He will remain. His Word will remain. His Promises will remain. His Love will remain. And on these truths I build my life.


"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." (2 Cor 4:16-18)
