Do not rush

Why do we hurry?

We rush to grow up, why?

We want to be free from the constraints of our parents...why?

We want to meet someone to fall in love with....why?

We want a career, a partner, we want children, we want a house, we want a car, we want, we want, we want........

We are designed to strive and when we are not striving we are stagnant, but we get lost in what we strive for.

We do grow up, we do break away from our parental constraints, we do find someone, they break our hearts, we find someone else and they break our hearts, we find a career, it becomes a boring routine, our parents grow old and die, we want them back, we have children, they want to break away from our constraints, and they do and then they are gone, we find a house, we spend our lives paying for it and then our health is gone. We grow old and feeble and then we look back and wonder why did we rush?

We strive for earthly things that do not satisfy. We have yet to understand that Jesus came to teach us the correct things to strive for....for a relationship with our Father. We think that the whole point of Him coming was to "save" us but then we lose sight of what He is saving us from. He did come to save us but not just from going to Hell.....He came to save us from a wasted life, wasted chasing after things that have no meaning and no satisfaction. 

What do you chase after? Why are you rushing?

Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” Mark10:21
