The purpose of the process

Man... I just want to be done already!!!!

Why is this taking so dog gone long.  It's so easy to want the finish results, get to the end, and stand of the shore of success, but wait!  What about the process?
In wanting to get to a healthy weight, or any kind of goal, process is the process to get there.  This process is not just about losing pounds, or getting the degree, or standing at the finish line after running the race, it's about becoming the person you were always meant to be.
So many go through but never become.  They go through just to find themselves being who they were before they went in.  If you go in rejected and don't change while you're in there, you will come out rejected.  If you go in with an orphan heart and you never give your heart to the Father and become a son, you will come out and still be an orphan in your heart.
I believe the purpose of the process is transformation of the heart, and not the end result only.  The end result will happen because of the hard work and effort you put forth, but the transformation happens because of who you become more like while you're in there, more like Jesus and ready to fulfill the purpose that Father God put US here to do... His Will.
We must ask ourselves what do we really want most, the end result, or a transformed heart that will sustain the end result.
