Journeying on the Road .......

Do you see life as a long journey? We are only here on a trip ....after all, have you forgotten that this hymn that this world is not our home, we are just a passing thru ...

"This world is not my home I'm just passing through
my treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
the angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore ..."

In our journey ... we will walk through many path of life .... different stages .... different scenery ..
sometimes cross roads where we need to decide which road to take or which turning to turn ..
we will pass thru many seasons of life ......spring, summer, autumn, winter ...
In our journey ... we will also come across many pit stop ... place to rest .... but its just for awhile..
Along the road ... we will meet many people, different types of people with many different types of agendas ... some are a gain .... some are a pain ... some are just gone .... just like that ...

In our trip, we will realize that our luggage seem to be getting heavier and heavier ... and we may even need more bags .... and our steps seem to have slowed down ... or even have hampered our journey .... or have wearied us down, drain our energy ... blur our vision .... have become mountains that we need to conquer ... rocks that we need to climb ...rivers that we need to cross ... when we are at this stage what do we do? Think we need to stop ..... unload all our stuff that we have been carrying and take a good look at them again and see what do we need to throw out ... we need to re-pack so that we can continue our journey ... to our final destination safely ...

The question is : do you know where are you heading at the end of your journey? Where is your ultimate destination? Which Promise-Land are you heading to? Only when you know where you are heading at the end you will know what you need to carry with you and what you need to throw away ....

"For the high road and the shortest road [to heaven] is measured by desire and not by yards"
(anonymous, fourteenth century)

If you know where you are heading at the end ... you will know how to live a life that is fulfilling and satisfying because Jesus has offered us Life and Life in Abundance .. He has offered to journey with you ....

Every journey has a beginning and an ending .... we are always on the move -- in the book Pilgrim's Progress, either you are moving and going somewhere or you are going nowhere ... stuck state .... which part of journey are you in now ... do you know where you are heading ... and what you need to carry and not carry with you?

The end of my journey is my eternal Home with pavement made from gold ... and the Bible is my blue print, the map to show me how to reach there and I have to beware of the distractions along the road ... least I stray away from the road that have already been paved for me to reach my Promise-Land ....

What about your? Do you know your where are you and where are you heading, where is your ending?
