Embracing the journey will help you Appreciate your Victories
The destination would mean nothing if you weren’t able to enjoy the journey that God allowed you to take. There’s something in the process that makes your feel fulfilled on the inside. You may find yourself focusing on what you wanted to accomplish, but if you fail to see God in your daily routine and habits, then you will miss the point. This life is not just about arriving at the future that He prepared, but it’s all about embracing and enjoying His presence along the process.
Every day, you will discover a different side of God, and you will fail to treasure it if you keep on thinking about what might happen next. Learn to walk with your Creator. Cherish your adventures with Him, and you will learn to appreciate the victories that you will experience. Do not be in a hurry. Live inside the season that God prepared for you. If you can’t understand yourself and you feel so uncomfortable, then learn the habit of living in His presence, and you will find peace everywhere you go.
Embracing the journey means living in the present. There’s nothing wrong with thinking about your future or reminiscing about the past. But if you find yourself living in the good old days and always looking forward to what’s ahead, then you will miss the blessings and the lessons that God prepared in front of you. If you only see the beauty behind your season right now, then you will surely appreciate the ways of God even in moments when you feel weary and tired.
When you face the obstacles that God allowed, you will realize that you are nothing without His power. The hardships will remind you to stay humble and meek in the presence of God. It will open the eyes of your heart about the lessons that you need to learn. The process may sometimes require efforts and tears, but if you choose to live and face it with God, then your journey will be more meaningful and memorable. When you arrive at your destination, you will learn to look back with gladness and deep fulfillment.
Just enjoy the process. Yes, it’s not always happy and full of excitement, but even if there’s pain, still you need to remember that everything that God allowed you to walk through is all for your own good. So be patient and live with what you have. Focus on the blessing. Enjoy the little and simple things that God is doing. Let Him be the source of your happiness. Do not treat His resources as the reason for your joy. Instead, use them to lead you closer to God.
Let the good and bad things you experience in life help you appreciate who God is. Your life may be so challenging, but after overcoming the difficult season, you will realize that everything you experienced is worth it. The lessons that you learned and the growth that you are enjoying are all because of the journey that God allowed you to take.
What makes the victory truly fulfilling is not the final destination itself, but it’s the places you’ve been through and the hardships you overcome that make everything worth the sacrifice and pain. So do not just seek blessings and success. Instead, pray that God will teach you how to enjoy your journey. Ask Him to open the eyes of your heart so that you will appreciate His presence even if you haven’t received yet the blessings that you prayed for. Above all, pray for a humble heart that’s willing to wait and stay faithful even in moments when you can’t understand His ways.
