My Journey For Your Journey



Have you ever been going through something that required you to constantly be in prayer and to seek God’s word in order to arrive at a place of peace and understanding when all of a sudden God presents to you a person struggling with the same thing?  
Despite your awe you become even more amazed by the counsel that spews forth from you to them. It is while you are conversing with this person that you realize just how much you have gained while in communion with the Lord. You now possess a treasure chest of knowledge and information within you that is the very food needed to sustain someone else in their walk with God.
Isn't it amazing how God uses your development to aide someone else? Isn't it amazing that as you labored in your quest for understanding and closer connection with God that he equipped you and empowered you to be a vessel of help and that with strength and conviction?!!
So  what’s in you?  What have you discovered while you seek wise counsel and support from our Heavenly Father in these trying times of hardship and uncertainty? What lessons and words of wisdom and comfort can you share with a friend or neighbor? Resist the urge to keep the learnings of your journey to yourself for indeed what's been given to you on your journey may very well be what's needed in the life of someone you know. Don't be afraid, grab a hand and share what's been revealed in your learning development so that together we can strengthen each other for our journeys ahead.
