So often we are told we are all on a journey through life. And you and I are supposed to be on this journey. 

Question: “Why do we have to be on a journey? You might ask, “Why can’t we just settle down to civilized inertia, avoiding pain and seeking pleasure, in moderation of course?”

Cows can do that, but human beings cannot. So if you are restless, if you are discontent, if you are bored, even if you are unhappy, it’s good news. It means you are not a cow!

And if you are not happy with your life, then look at it this way. If you are not happy, it doesn’t mean that you are going nuts. It may mean that you are becoming human. Human beings can’t live like cows and still be human. 

Here’s the rub. Cows are who they are. Human beings are who they become. And that act of becoming, the Bible calls a journey. And Jesus says, “If you want to do it right, then follow me. And if you follow me, take nothing with you, except faith.”

What do you think Jesus is getting at when he says: “If you want to do it right, then follow me. And if you follow me, take nothing with you, except faith.”

YOU ARE NOT ON A JOURNEY TO GOD. YOU ARE ON A JOURNEY WITH GOD!!
