Travel only broadens the mind of the open-minded. For some, travel merely confirms their preconceived ideas. There are plenty of us who visit the sights, come back with pictures and souvenirs, and yet remain unchanged in our ideologies and beliefs. Many of us are eager to travel the world, yet unwilling to explore the depths of our minds. Any experience in which we gain new insights can broaden us.
Have you ever been startled by God? Have you ever asked God for an answer and gotten something totally unexpected? Most of us either dismiss these experiences as weird or conform them to our preconceived notions. However, if we travel down these unfamiliar routes with open minds and hearts, we might gain valuable insights that change us completely.
Unfamiliar experiences can be transformational only if we are perceptive and receptive. Everyday encounters with the unexpected can be enlightening if we are willing to learn and explore. God wants to be our traveling companion, to take us into uncharted territories, to show us aspects of ourselves that are beyond consciousness.
