There are some folks who seem to find their faith-journey to be relatively easy-going. In some ways, I am a little envious of them, because mine doesn't always seem to be that smooth. Of course, there are days of wonder and deep connection with the Father, but there are other days, where discipleship seems to be a grind. I am not sure if you can relate to this at all, but I pray that some of you can.
It is for this reason, that I exclaimed a loud 'Yes', when I read these words in a devotion the other day.
"Pain penetrates through despair and stimulates a new beginning - a journey to God - the transition from a dreamy nostalgia for a better life to a rugged pilgrimage of discipleship...we are invited to find our way by continually listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised that his Spirit will lead us to truth." - Eugene Peterson
"When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth." - John 16:13
Thought: Let us continue on the pilgrimage of rugged discipleship, because the views from the top of the mountain are extraordinary.
