Quotes about Journey

Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led. But it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of faith, not of understanding and reason—a life of knowing Him who calls us to go.

But our heavenly Father won't give up until each one of his children has completed the journey.
