The Journey...

I've often heard people say "it's not the destination that matters but the journey." They profess a belief in the end not mattering. That where you desire to end up or where your journey takes you isn't what matters most. However, it's about the path you take. It's about what your journey looks like. What your road consists of. 

That's all great, but let me ask you this...if the destination doesn't matter then where are you going? More importantly why? If we were to be honest with ourselves the destination is extremely important as is the journey. Truth be told, many of us are going no where fast. Getting things done just to add to the list of "accomplishments" but we have no real goal. No end or finish point in mind. We endlessly and aimlessly become doers of habit. 

We become a lifeless people who run down a check list of to-do's. On the outside our life looks productive. We stay busy and we appear to be making a great life for ourselves, our family, etc. But what good is it to have a full day or even a full life if we never get to feel the gratification of "I made it" or "I finished". How can we ever become finishers if we don't even know where the end goal is? 

I have been guilty of this in times past. Just floating through life doing but not knowing why. My journey has been...well busy! But my destination, that has been unclear. Until recently, when I really looked at what I want but more importantly what God wants for me. I have goals, visions and purposes. I have desires for things. Those are my destinations. To be more like Him, to be all He sees me as...those are the targets. My journey must match my destination. The road I take, the things I do, the words I speak, they all must align with what I envision. They must reflect where I say I want to be. If they dont, then I go back to aimlessly doing just to do. 

I said all that to say, find a destination. Find a why? Find a end point! When you do, make sure your journey matches where you say your trying to go! 

Until next time,
