one way ticket

Do you like to travel? For most people, travel involves a round trip, because they have a home they return to. You find comfort and stability there. Yet I have called you to follow me, and this is a one way trip. Committing yourself to me gave you a home in heaven, and even though you return to the same place here to sleep at night, you have become a stranger and a sojourner in this world. And so you are on a journey to a place where you have never been, and there is no going back. Do you understand the depth of this commitment? It is called a walk of faith with good reason. You only get there by trusting me to guide you.
