Claire,
This is really important:
it’s all about the journey!
This is it!
This is what it’s all about!

Every single day
is a gift from me to you.
It’s your big chance
to draw that bit closer to me.
It’s all about the journey,
not about the destination.

It’s not about you thinking
“I’ll finally be at peace
… when I can sing without fear …
… when I’m reconciled with so-and-so …
… when family problems disappear …
… when I finally have quality time
to spend in prayer
or even
… when I win the lottery!”
It’s about finding me right here,
right now!

In the highs and lows
of your ordinary, daily life,
I am with you.
In your moments of anguish and torment
I am with you.
When situations seem impossible
and you can’t wait
for the day to end
I am with you.
In those precious moments
when you catch a glimpse of me
and your heart soars
I am with you.

Every single day
is your big chance
to experience an intimate, loving relationship
with me!
And how I long
for that intimacy with you!

Look for me every single day
and remember,
it’s all about the journey!
