The Journey Has Been a Gift to Me

The Journey has been a gift to me. I’ve been blessed to connect with other women who love God, who desire to be led by Him. It has helped mature my faith to pray, share, journal, and study with them and be encouraged by their testimonies. Over the past two years, God has deepened my appreciation for who He is, who his Word reveals Him to be. My prayer life has become more rich, constant, and authentic. It is the first thing I turn to. I’m seeing the results in the way I interact with others, with how often Scripture comes to mind for a given situation, in the way I respond to difficulty, and I know where to go in gratitude — to God. Nowadays, I understand that spiritual fruit is an indicator of an abiding life in Christ but not the work of man. It is the work of Holy Spirit, developed in me through loving surrender and trusting obedience to Christ. That’s a distinction I never made before exploring that scripture in my Journey group. When I center my life on God and his Kingdom, there’s a beautiful shift that takes place. (Matthew 6:33) But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you. Try God Also Read: Understanding God:
