Busyness

Being busy is not a sin. Jesus was busy. Paul was busy. Peter was busy. Nothing of significance is achieved without effort and hard work and weariness. That, in and of itself, is not a sin. But being busy in an endless pursuit of things that leave us empty and hollow and broken-that cannot be pleasing to God. In the midst of a busy life on the freeway of humanity, it seems that the faster we go, the emptier we become. When we’re always in a hurry trying to get ahead, never taking time to pause and reflect, we sacifice a lot to stay on top. Sometimes it takes hard decision to bring our life under control and realign our prioritites, focusing on the Father and letting everything else take a backseat. In the midst of your busyness, the Cross is still there. In the midst of your emptiness, the Cross is still there. The promises of Jesus still stand today. You can claim peace in the midst of a hectic life-not without sacrifice or concentration, but you can do it.
