Almost There!

After a longer than expected hike with some friends the other day, I overheard one of the moms telling her 3 year old son, "Don't stop now, we're almost there!" And she was right, we were almost there. But I can assure you that "almost there" from our perspective was a much shorter distance than it was for her young son, whose tiny legs had gone just about as far as they could go!

Watching her little one struggle to the end of the trail reminded me of how it sometimes feels on this journey toward Heaven. To me, the trip often times seems longer than expected, and I don't feel I can go any further. But from the Lord's perspective, I know it's just a hop, skip, and a jump to the finish line. Thankfully it is in these times that I hear Him lovingly whisper in my ear, "Don't stop now. You're almost there!"
