Point of No Return

We have traveled our nation’s highways on many road trips. Living in the middle of the US makes nearly any destination within the continental US within a two day driving distance. There is a point where we become closer to our destination than we are to our origin. At this point, we are committed. The journey to where we were is longer than the journey to where we are going. There is no turning back.

In life, we experience these points many times. When I proposed to Crystal, I could have psyched myself out of it up to the point I was on one knee with a ring box in my hands. After all, she didn’t expect me to propose. I could have given myself so many excuses as to why I should postpone this grand gesture. However, I reached the point of no return and overcame the fear to ask the most important question I have ever asked.

What is holding you back from your destination? Is it fear to reach the point of no return? Are you letting off the gas and looking for an exit to turn around as you approach this crucial point? Are excuses disguising themselves as reasons why you shouldn’t move forward?

I encourage you today to race past your fears. Look at the point of no return as a place to celebrate! This is where you overcome your biggest struggles. The point of no return is where you make the choice to reach your God-given destination. This is where you say, “I’m going for it!” There are still pit stops,traffic, pot holes, and construction zones along the way, however, you’re closer than you have ever been to your destination.

Put your foot on the skinny pedal on the right. Press it down and listen to the Navigator who is within every believer. You will be so glad you did.
