My blog is called "Life's Journey" because I believe life really is a journey, filled with many twists and turns, and there's a lot to see along the way. There are mountains, and there are valleys. But at the end of the journey, what will be your final destination? That's the question....
In our society, success is measured by performance and achievement. Look at Donald Trump. He's known for his success as a great businessman and his talent for making money. Those things are good, but they're not the most important things. Life, in the end, is about significance. Significance is defined by our character, our values, our beliefs and our faith.
We have a choice. We can let our life's journey take us down a road where we are measured by how much money we have and by how successful we are.... Or we can take a higher road, where our success is not tied to performance and achievement but to God.
On this new road, we leave the fear of trying to live up to others' expectations. It takes a step of faith to go off the beaten path and follow the ways of God. But if we do, we can find true success -- and fulfillment -- on our journey.
This is the road that leads to heaven, and faith is the fuel that takes us from mile marker to mile marker on the long journey. It starts by putting our faith in Jesus and relying on Him to lead us.
The first step is to realize there is a God and that He wants to help you on your journey. He's there for you, and He loves to help. Ask Him to forgive you for running in the wrong direction. Then, turn it all over to Him and let Him be your pilot. He knows the way and will lead you safely to your final destination.
No matter where you are on the journey, it's not too late to turn around and begin a new, sacred journey with God. Taking one step at a time, you will find your purpose is not in the ways of this world but in a calling that will lead you toward your eternal destination in heaven.
