The Color of Your Journey Here: Part 2

Some people seem to live with a glimpse of heaven in their mind's eye.

They don't sweat the small stuff. They are present in the moment and listen fully and love others with a freedom that draws them into this invisible circle of hope.

The color of their journey here is a hue of hope that is so beautiful, so contagious, so expressive of God Himself. It radiates the truth that God is enough.

For others of us, the color of our journey here is warped by worry--worry is our trademark endeavor. If the personality of our effort always expresses an undercurrent of worry, we are saying to God, You are not enough.

Worry is a choice...always.

So is there a better way? Is there a thought process that I can put into place at every turn when worry wants to color my journey?

Yes. Every time worry mounts, I say:
Go before me, Lord. I put my trust in You.
Then I step back and wait. The color of hope returns to my heart and in my mind's eye, I get to glimpse heaven.

The best color of my journey here is a glimpse of the unimaginable colors in our journey to come.
