Disclaimer: You will probably find this post to be quite vague.
I am in the middle of this debate with myself right now. God's really pulling on the heart strings in me about some stuff, and I am finding it difficult to not rush the process. For many years I have subscribed to the belief that the journey is more important and fulfilling than the destination. However, there have been very few times where I have had to live this out, and is currently proving to be quite difficult.
I am not a patient man.
Instant gratification describes me much better.
It's a battle I've fought most of my life.
Thankfully, God has been patient with me. I am learning more and more how fulfilling focusing on the journey is. It's still hard, because I want to be where God desires me to be in the end more than anything. In that desire, I think sometimes we all fail to realize that maybe for the moment, God wants us right where we are on this journey. I think maybe God is enjoying the process of watching me grow as much as I am enjoying the process of growing.
In my quiet times I feel a constant persistence from God to slow down, a gentle prodding to stop rushing. It feels that God understands my desire to get to the end, but that's not where He wants me RIGHT NOW. He wants me right where I am on this journey. There are some things that we can only learn on the journey.
I just want to thank God today for being patient, for being my Guide, for being a Teacher, for being my Savior, and for being my best friend. I love you Abba!
