With Speed and Superficiality in this age has come the unsurprising result of ungrounded, discontent spirits that wrestle with real life. To become deeply acquaainted with our Creator is to settle into the patterns and rythmns of living as nomadic residents in this transient world. We are such a “GOALS” oriented people that the destination has become more important than the journey itself. Journey is a relational reality; destination is an outcome reality. Both are important but one will ultimately serve the other. Which one will it be for you?
The famous Catholic Priest, Henri Nowen, once remarked in his book “The Genesee Diary” (as he was quoting a Rabbi) “He who thinks that he has finished is finished.” In other words, if you are a destination-minded person adn you believe that you have “arrived” and “graduated” from simpler things, have a surprise coming. As Nowen so aptly puts it, “those who think they have reached theri goal have missed it all together.”
We are never done with the story because the story iks never done with us. We must keep up our longing, loving, waiting, hoping, praying adn expecting as we persevere in the path of restign in Christ’s peace. It is enough for us. He is enough for us. What are you lellaning into today?
