Do you ever feel like you learn the same lessons over and over again? Like you read back over the same Scripture and still struggle to embrace it and obey it and love it? And you see how far you've come yet there still seems like so far to go? I do.
I think the journey is the most important though. That what we learn along the miles in between is more valuable than the finish line even though we strain for that moment in time. That 1 Peter 1:6-7 is really true when it says our faith is of greater worth than gold. Our faith is what matters most. Not our happiness. Not our wealth. Not our achievements or our perfection or an easy life but our faith and trust in Christ.
So Lord:
"Take my broken offering and make it whole
And set my feet upon the road the leads me home.
Let me walk as one fixed upon the goal
Even though I've got a thousand miles to go."
[caedmon's call - "a thousand miles"]
And Lord let me embrace the miles instead of only seeing all the things I'm not yet. That every day I would stand on grace.
