We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal;
He is not. The question of getting to a particular end is a mere incident. What we call the process, God calls the end…
God’s end is to enable me to see that He can walk on the chaos of my life just now. If we have a further end in view, we do not pay sufficient attention to the immediate present: if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment as it comes is precious.
My Utmost for His Highest

The rest of my life is made up of next weeks, tomorrows, next hours and minutes. Dreaming is good, but meaningless without action. Maybe Jesus is more interested in how I’m loving Him now, not how I’m going to be a “better Christian” after I graduate.
