Too Busy for Jesus ....

How fast do you think our life is moving ? ... Everything is so fast and instant now. Starting from communication upto food, everything needs to be done in the blink of an eye. But even then, our lives are so much busier than ever ... we work twice as long as our parents used to, but seem to get only half the things done.

Have you ever noticed that ? .... No matter how high tech we are, we still find ourselves with no time for anything ? ( Let alone God ) ... Isn't it supposed to be the other way around ? ... With the development of technology, arn't we supposed to have more time on our hands ? ... Shouldn't we be able to do more ? ... Where has our free time gone ? ... TV, Internet, Mobile Phones !!!! ... These are the mediums which have taken up most of our time. Each of us spend most of our time in front of the TV or the Computer every single day. And we wonder where time has gone.

Our parents never had these things. They had time for their work, studies, household work as well as for god. Our lives are just too busy and just too fast to even notice whats going on. Before we know it, we will be 50, about to retire ... wondering where on earth did my life go.

The saddest part of all this is that in general people have forgotten to be happy. Most of us are miserable most of our day. We dont like our jobs, we dont like our responsibilities in life and most of us are dealing with some sort of issue.

Have you ever felt that the solution for these problems could be within your own selves ? ... Have you ever realised that maybe, just maybe, the problem is not with the world but with myself ? ... What most people don't realize is that the solutions to all our problems are just the turn of a page away. The daily scriptures can answer any doubt in your mind ... If only you open upto it !!!

Try this exercise if you can ... Once you get up every morning, say good morning to the holy spirit ... ( The Holy Spirit is always with you ... believe that ) ... Ask him to be with you throughout the day ... to guide you and to shield you ... most importantly, to tell you what you should do. Then, read the bible quotation for the day ... let it sink in and then start your day.

Throughout your day, god will speak to you in many ways. The spirit will guide you in situations which you can not even imagine. And at the end of the day ... you will feel content. A feeling which you might not have felt in a while.

But, when you do feel it, dont be shy to open your mouth and say .... "Praise Be to God !!!!" ... for it is him who has touched you today !!! Slow down your life and try to experience every moment ... those moments are not coming back ... and if you believe, in god's eyes, you will see the beauty of life as you have never seen before.

Take Care my brothers and sisters ... May God Bless You All !!!!
