This Journey Called, "Faith"

Faith is a journey, not a destination.  It’s not like we trust in Jesus and then everything about life is perfect.  It doesn’t work that way.  Putting our faith in Christ doesn't make us perfect.  It makes us forgiven.  And it starts us on this journey of faith.

I think that’s why Jesus told Nicodemus that he needed to be born again.  When we’re born we're a blank slate.  We begin learning and growing.  We make mistakes - a lot of them.  But we eventually get to the place where the mistakes are fewer and wisdom grows and we move forward on the journey of life.  And the same thing happens when we’re born again.  We aren’t made perfect, but we do begin a journey of learning and growing and watching God do some pretty incredible things in our lives.  As time goes on the mistakes become fewer and the victories come more frequently.  And the journey of faith continues.

So stay on the journey........where you’re going is worth it!
