The Journey

Book excerpt: Life is more than a destination. Every life has a beginning and an end, but it is what transpires between these two points that defines the person and changes those he comes in contact with. Jesus' life serves as an example of a life lived—truly lived—where in every moment He embraced the divine appointments along the pathway before Him. One day Jesus headed to the Gerasenes to share God's love, but on the way a possessed man was set free, a woman with a chronic illness was healed, a girl was raised from the dead, and a family was forever changed. This day had no agenda, no three-ring-binder of to-do lists, and yet every step of the way was an appointment to bring Heaven to the broken and bring glory to God. The same is true with us. Every moment is a divine opportunity to see God at work. God seeks to capture us—to have us fully aware that each step, each breath is intertwined with His will. He wants us to listen, to learn, and to serve Him every moment. The pages of this book will speak to you and encourage you to acknowledge the lessons from God that are all around and to remind you that God's purpose is fulfilled in each step of your life on The Journey.
