E,
There is nothing no real
hurry to the truth. I know we are constantly being told by charlatans and
preachers about impending kingdoms and divine timelines. If the goal is
eternal, then the steps cannot be impacted by temporal time. We are not on a
human clock. There is always something much more infinite going on. There is no
timeframe for the healing of the fractured human soul. God will get to it in
time. Or, better said, in timelessness.
You can get up not so
fast. You can spend all the time you need inside your own soul. The world may
push and press, but it has no alarm for your real life. Modernity and the
wheels of ever-present fortune press on us with the idea that we need to spin
value as fast as we possibly can. The true state of our universe tells us
something different. The press of present life might give the illusion that we
must always run at full speed, or we will not make any impact on the things we
believe in, but this is not true at all. In fact, speed and anxiety add nothing
to the things that really matter. We must learn to slow the pulse down to the
rhythm of God. We must learn to wait for the hand to pick us up from that
storied ground we lie on. We will get up, for sure, but not so fast.
