journeys

Have you been on a nice beach holiday?
Have you been to the largest shopping centre in the modern metropolis?
Have you ever traveled to far away strange exotic places?
Have you ever traveled to the corners of the globe?
Have you ever traveled to the middle of the earth’s core?
Have you flown to the next galaxy?
Have you been to the next suburb in your city?
Have you been to the bad side of town?
Have you knocked on your neighbour’s door?
Have you visited the local orphanage or nursing home or the homeless shelter?
Have you ever stepped into the shoes of another person?
Have you visited a church in a different culture and worshipped in a different language?

Some people have frequent flyer points that run into the millions.
Some people have never been outside a 5km radius from their house.
Some people have never flown in an airplane.
Some people have never ridden a bicycle.
Some people have never seen snow.
Some people have never seen a car.
Some people have walked thousands of kilometers.
Some people live in high altitudes.
Some people live on land that is reclaimed from the sea.

In this Journey called Life, I have been blessed to go on many sojourns.
Many external journeys traverse the 3 dimensional space of length, width, height, that measures distance and even the 4 dimensional, which is Time.

Yet there is another journey, an internal, an unseen spiritual seeking. A pursuit, a discovery, an adventure, which is known only to me in my heart. The pilgrim’s progress.

For some people, they spend lots of effort, money and time going on external journeys. Yet there is very little movement in their internal journey.

There are people who have rarely stepped out of the physical domains that they inhabit, yet those enclosures cannot limit their soaring spiritual travails which bring them to beautiful faraway places outside the realms of space and time. Seeking the eternal.

There is someone who has traveled from heaven to earth. He has been everywhere, from the beginning of time to the end of time. He is a space traveler, time traveler, dream traveler, even been to Hell and back literally! Yet this great avid explorer chooses to come and live in my heart. It doesn’t matter where you have been. If you will let him in, Jesus will lead you on a journey that surpasses all other journeys…this is the way of victorious Life, conquering death and sin, because Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
