In the film "Chariots of Fire" there is a scene where Eric Liddell's sister is expressing her concern about his running because he is called to be a missionary to China. She is concerned that the running is a distraction from the purpose that God has called him to. In the movie (There is no indication that Eric Liddell said this in real life) he responds by saying, "I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure".
Today as I was reflecting on this journey that God has called me to I thought of that line. Each time I have a good day, each time I meet a goal, or each time have a success I feel God's pleasure. Since this has been a spiritual journey as well as a physical journey it has been a great experience. I look forward to each day because I look forward to what God is going to do and how He is going to help me through whatever may come. With each milestone that I meet my hope is that God receives the glory as he transforms my life.
