Life takes time, and that is ok!

Life takes time, yet we all seem in such a great rush to make it happen as soon as possible!  Hamo wrote this:

“I think the besetting sin of pastors, maybe especially evangelical pastors, is impatience. We have a goal. We have a mission. We’re going to save the world. We’re going to evangelize everybody, and we’re going to do all this good stuff and fill our churches. This is wonderful. All the goals are right. But this is slow, slow work, this soul work, this bringing people into a life of obedience and love and joy before God.”

Eugene Petersen: Why are we impatient?… Maybe because so much of what we do is about us…

It is my experience too.  We are in a rush when God is wanting to go through the journey with us, so we rush others and hurry them through life, when god wants us to walk with them!
