In life we are always learning.  As children we learn to walk, to talk, to read and to write.  As we grow into adults, we learn to develop different skills as we choose a career, to play an instrument or play a sport.  Life is all about learning.

At first, you will make mistakes as it is not possible to get things perfect at once. After a while, you will get better until you are a pro.  Then you are no longer a student, but have reached the level when you can now teach others.

It takes time to develop any skill or talent and as each year passes by you will notice how much you have progressed from the year before.  For some people, the learning years are not easy.  There is frustration, boredom, monotony and sometimes even depression.  To give up might seem the only solution, but these emotions are only natural as this is all part of the learning process, and also a part of life.  If everything came easy then there will be no experience to learn from, no building of character.  If everything was easy then life will certainly be boring and less challenging.  Each year we progress, lifts us to a higher a plane, to a higher level of achievement and satisfaction.

In this life we are in training for a higher purpose.  There will be times of frustration yes, but a lot more times of accomplishments and success.  We must keep an eye on the goal and that goal is to be with God in His Kingdom.

The Apostle Paul put it nicely as he came to the end of his journey of life:

“As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God… I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.  And now the prize awaits me – the crown of righteousness that the Lord, the righteous Judge will give me on that great day of his return.  And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to His glorious return.” 2 Timothy 4:7

Make this year the one you get closer to the prize – the crown of righteousness.
