“THE PROCESS IS THE END. FOR IT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.” --Oswald Chambers

"This life therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed." --Martin Luther

I was looking and thinking some more about the comment at the top about rural Africans being more concerned with the process than the end goal/where you end up. The process is important; the process is what gets us to the end goal. So the process must be “right”. Where you “end up” is important too. How do we know when it is right? Do we just skate through life continuing with trial and error and hope sooner or later we get it “right”? Or do we learn from GOD and others, accept correction, rebukes, reproofs as needed to get and stay on the “right” process. Is there only one right way? God gives us free will to make our own choices. He also provides others in our path, in our processes to assist us. Will we accept it? Will we insist on our own way? Is part of the mark of process, PROGRESS? Going and getting somewhere-not just physically obviously, but moving forward in our faith walk.
