Whether we believe it or not, we, God's children, are on a journey. We are on a journey with Christ as our guide. There are many different stages in the journey and every journey can be different. But I believe the journey is all to the same place.
There are some who are slowly walking through the hottest of deserts with Jesus looking for a water source.
There are some who are scaling the side of a mountain with Jesus one step ahead of them checking for danger spots.
Some who are deep within the deepest of valleys with Jesus making them a trail.
There are some who are strolling calmly through a wide open field with Jesus strolling by their side.
Some have stopped and Jesus is calling for them right over the next ridge.
Some thought they knew a better way, so Jesus is following them - urging them to turn around.
Right now, Jesus and I are resting on the trail. Jesus and I have had some great conversations, I have learned a lot about him and he has listened to a lot of my woes. He has comforted me, he has cried with me, he has listened to me, and he has encouraged me. Now, He is getting ready for our next hike. Where is Jesus taking me? I do not know. How long will we be on the trail? I do not know. What I do know is this, if I rely on him, he will guide my path. If I rely on him, I will not be forsaking. If I rely on him, I will survive this journey.
So, I want to know, where are you on your journey with our Lord?

I picture me an Jesus sitting down to have a chat, and he's being like the father, telling me what I've done wrong and why. But then he's putting his arm around me and telling me everything's alright and he forgives me and loves me and is going to help me learn and grow.
Gosh, I dunno ... perhaps I am strolling calmly through a wide open field with Jesus by my side. But then again, I think maybe I am scaling a mountain with Jesus one step ahead checking for danger spots. Sometimes I think I'm on one journey, sometimes I'm on another ...

Good imagery, and good question, Lew. I think, in some ways, my journey with Christ changes from day-to-day, and from step-to-step. In some ways, I think I am walking with him, placing my feet in his footprints. In other ways, I feel that I'm trying to walk away from him as he gently guides me back to his straight path. Thanks for the post. It has given me much to think about.

Actually I picture the Holy Spirit sitting down to have a chat and he guides me into all truth. He doesn't tell me about himself but glorifies Christ who sits exalted at the Father's right hand. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and little 'ole' me at 6AM in the middle of a soccer field. (and my dog Roscoe)
希望大家都會非常非常幸福~
「朵朵小語‧優美的眷戀在這個世界上，最重要的一件事，就是好好愛自己。好好愛自己，你的眼睛才能看見天空的美麗，耳朵才能聽見山水的清音。好好愛自己，你才能體會所有美好的東西，所有的文字與音符才能像清泉一樣注入你的心靈。好好愛自己，你才有愛人的能力，也才有讓別人愛上你的魅力。而愛自己的第一步，就是切斷讓自己覺得黏膩的過去，以無沾無滯的輕快心情，大步走向前去。愛自己的第二步，則是隨時保持孩子般的好奇，願意接受未知的指引；也隨時可以拋卻不再需要的行囊，一路雲淡風輕。親愛的，你是天地之間獨一無二的旅人，在陽光與月光的交替之中瀟灑獨行.............................................................................................................有時，你覺得痛。胃痛的時候，接受它，承認這個疼痛是你的身體的一部份，與它和平共處。心痛的時候，接受它，承認這個經驗是你的生命的一部份，與它和平共處。抗拒痛的存在，只會讓它更要證明它的存在，於是你就更痛。所以，.無論你有多麼不喜歡痛的感覺，還是要接納這個痛的事實。與你的痛站在同一邊，不逃避，不閃躲，不再與你的痛爭執，如此，你的痛才會漸漸不再胡鬧，才會乖乖平息下去。.................心願-你許下了一個心願，你閉上眼睛，在冥想之中把這個心願交託宙給宇整個讓宇宙推動它全部的力.量去執行.，你看見星球與星球的引力牽繫著彼此，你聽見虛空與虛空.唱裡著和妙美的聲音，為了你的心願，整個宇宙正在相互傳遞，然後你放下了心願，不僅是放下，最好你還把你的心願忘記，唯有如此，它才能脫離你，發展它自己，
當它在宇宙的遊歷結束之後，它自然會來到你身邊，以你曾經希望的方式回應你，許下，只是讓它發生，放下，才是讓>它實現，你的心願使你懂得不能執著的奧秘...................
