Finding True Happiness in a Busy World
As we rush through our daily lives, trying to cram in as much as possible, stress and anxiety often take over. It’s the tasks we put off until tomorrow that can drain our energy the most. But what if we prioritized God in our daily routine, amidst work and play? Would we find more peace and contentment?
The Trap of Busyness
Our moods often depend on how much time we have available. A long day at work, followed by unfinished tasks at home, can leave us feeling tired, stressed, and unhappy. We react negatively to those around us, and our joy is short-lived. But what if we could break free from this cycle?
The Elusive Pursuit of Happiness
Happiness is not something we can chase after. It’s like trying to catch a butterfly – the more we pursue it, the more it eludes us. True happiness comes from living a life guided by God’s principles, serving others with unconditional love, and taking time to listen to His gentle whispers.
A Life of Purpose and Fulfillment
Jesus promises us a life “to the full” (John 10:10). But is our life truly fulfilling? I believe that time can be a thief, stealing our joy and purpose. By making time for God, we can regain perspective and find our heart’s true longings.
Slowing Down to Listen
In the stillness, we can hear God’s Holy Spirit speaking to us, guiding us towards our true purpose. Let us pray: “Lord, slow us down, that we may hear your voice and discover our heart’s true longings. Help us recover our energy and purpose for living.” Amen.
