When we decide to take a trip/journey, we select a destination that has some attraction or a good reason why we want to journey to this location. Our choice is generally a pleasurable place that we have a great interest in and enjoy very much to be there. In preparation for our journey we make careful plans so that we arrive at our destination safe, sound and when we are to be there.
We know that no matter how much we plan for a successful journey, problems can arise and throw a monkey wrench into our plans. Problems such as: if your mode of transportation is plane, train, etc., there are possibilities of cancellations. If you go by car there can be detours, breakdowns, bad weather, etc. This is part of life in our physical world.
Now in our “Journey to Jesus”, in the Celestial City (in our spiritual life), we know that there will be mountain top experiences and stumbling blocks in the valley.
We need to make sure that in our “Journey to Jesus” we are going for the right reason. We should be going with the “love of Christ” in a heart filled with thanksgiving for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
During our journey we will not only address God’s love for us and our love for God and others, but many situations of our spiritual life that are stumbling blocks in our path on our journey.
As we start our journey in 2010 during the month of January we will spend time in message and word trying to understand God’s love for us and our love for God and others.
