Journey-F
I know that at times it feels that all our lives
are about high crimes and misdemeanors.
But all of life is about space and time; and all
of earth's creatures occupy and move in space.
Our earthly abode, set in motion by God, journeys
along the beats of time and seems so brief, so limited.
Although in the course of our lives,
many batons are handed off from
other people to us, life is not about
a team winning or losing in a relay race.
Rather, this journey of life is about each of us
individually excelling in the purpose of glorifying God
and crossing the finish line in God's Gracious timeline.
Riddled with many adversities, complexities, and uncertainties,
Our journey begins at birth from which we head for our destiny.
Many are the highlights shedding light on the highways of our lives.
Along the way, we experience both the thrills of victory and the agonies of defeat.
Astronauts are sent into space in spacecrafts developed and designed to bring them back. Whether the goal is to perform experiments and run tests in space or to land on a planet, returning home is the ultimate destiny; and everything in between is a part of the journey.
Sometimes the most crucial part of the space journey is breaking through the heated atmosphere on the return to earth. Unless success is achieved in life's challenging areas, the journey to our destiny remains uncertain, and the mission itself could be a failure. However difficult, the journey must continue. If Journey were a personality, it would be married to destiny for a lifetime. Journey on.
