There is no denying that we travel along the way of a long, hard journey.
Many have lost strength.
Many are on the verge of giving up… or turning back.
Others have forgotten … or lost sight of what it’s all for and where they’re headed.
Or maybe you never really knew in the first place… and were just following the crowd. Maybe you’ve lost your way… wandered off the path in the monotony of the weariness.
The way is long and perilous. We are tempted to wander, prone to falter along the way. Wide is the path that leads to destruction.
And who hasn’t lost the joy of the journey at different bends in the road and wondered where the promised abundant life is found? It's easy to lose sight of the Joy set before us on this long, hard road, especially with the voice of discouragement taunting, “Too long. Too hard. You’ll never make it. Why bother? Just give up. Turn back."
Lost, weary, miserable travelers. The world is full of them.
Take heart from the words of a fellow traveler. Hear the cries of a heart set on pilgrimage, and listen for the deepest, truest cries of your own heart. Then allow the voice of the One who hears our cries to sustain you with words of His unfailing love.
Be strong. Be courageous! The journey is epic.
The Lord is near to all who call on Him, and He will bring us safely through to the victory.
