Always Traveling, Never Arriving

Checked the speedometer lately?  We move at such a pace through most of our days, it may not be all that unusual to live with the sensation that we are always in motion, but rarely arriving.  Always traveling, but never quite arriving.  We are always thinking there is something we are going to do when we get there . . . the problem is, that we may really have the sense that we have arrived.

God invites us not only to follow, which implies movement . . . but also welcomes us into a place where we can feel that we have arrived.  Not a place of perfection, but a place of belonging as we continue to grow toward the One Who embodies perfection.  That One invites us into a realization of our belovedness to God.  It is not something we journey towards, but the realization that we journey in.  That's what Pastor Jon invites us to reflect on this morning as he opens the word and invites us to listen to God speaking those words to us.
