why are you running ?

why are we running ?

it was the Sunday service just passed when i had this thought ... during our prayer ... i was expecting GOD to speak to me ... and HE did ... not by HIS audible voice but, through a kid ... we were all encouraged to pray at the end of the service .. as usual, head bowed, eyes closed =) then all of a sudden a kid came running into the hall (i presumed that he was running into his hall to meet his parents)... he was running and then a loud thump, i guess he must have fell ... and then he got up and walk ...

there and then, that few seconds of commotion actually gave me this thought ...

are we running too fast in life ?

do we keep running and running and neglecting things that come your way that you are supposed to learn or know ?

are we running too too fast for the things that GOD wants us to achieved ?

this boy was definitely running to his parents (for us : running the destination that eventually lead us to our FATHER) and he fell ...

are we running this race for GOD (without GOD’s help) hastily?

running through every hurdles in life without taking a second look at it (the lessons GOD has for us to learn) ... running hastily through life overlooking things that come your way will caused us to fall into the trap of the world – that leads us to feeling emotionally and physically tired latter giving up on this race for HIS eventual purpose ...

what I have learnt from this boy; was to pick myself up again whenever i fall and walk .. taking steady steps ... learning lessons, taking tests that GOD has for us and to trust in HIM holding our hands walking and growing with HIM in this journey of life .. and at the end of the destination .. HE’ll be there with HIS arms wide open waiting for us ... WE ARE HOME =)
