About This Quote

When a person is on a journey that they were created for, there is a certain freedom that comes along with it. You can give your life to Jesus Christ and that freedom will pull you forward. It’s not a completely free ride. In fact, the path may seem slow at times, but you will never feel like it is a waste of time because you know that eventually, you will make it to your destination.
