Our Journey

As Christians, we are sojourners in this world where we temporarily reside. Unless we see life as a journey and not a destination we will never truly enjoy it in in its proper perspective.

I heard of a story of an American missionary to Africa who just came back to the U.S.A. He had been serving in Africa for 20 years. On board the ship where he was riding back to the U.S.A., a politician was also there. When the ship docked in the U.S.A., a band and a big welcome party welcomed the politician home. As for the missionary, there was nobody to meet him there at the dock. He was so sad that he complained to God saying, "Lord, I served you in Africa for 20 years. And You never even sent someone to meet me here just to welcome me back to my country."
The Lord replied, "Son, you're not home yet."

Enjoy the journey. This is the worst it can get. The best is yet to come.
