BOTH STEPS AND STOPS ARE MOVEMENT

We tend to think that it is only when we take steps that we are moving forward in life. Sometimes, stopping is also a part of movement.

If you are driving and you get a stop signal from the traffic light, it does not mean you are moving back, neither does it mean it is the end of the road. You are still moving forward, just that you are having a Stop.

Making a stop is part of the journey. There are many steps you will take and there are many stops you will also have. Sometimes you may have stops along the path of life journey far more than you envisaged.

Sometimes, stops are required when the road is not too clear and there is need for visibility so as to avoid accidents, commotion, or chaos.

Do you feel like you are making stops instead of taking steps? Relax, it’s all part of the journey. Be intentional about encouraging those around you who might be experiencing stops on their journeys. Let them know the stops are not bad neither are they final.

It’s not enough to celebrate only when you are taking steps. Learn to celebrate your stops as well. Count it all joy. It’s all part of the movement.

The journey is still ongoing. It may not be easy, it will surely be worth it.

Rest assured God has got you covered!

So, which of the two are you experiencing now? A STEP or A STOP?
