A tough season

The sermon yesterday that it is not about working hard for the law but rather living s life of obedience... It's true that a rushed life is not what God meant by living life to the full but rather it is reflected in a life of obedience to Him... Tough because popular culture has told us otherwise. It has told us that we need to work hard for a better future. The beautiful house , the car, an early retirement, the promotion ... But I start to be reminded and humbled that the importance things in life cannot be achieved by hard work alone. Not long ago I said to the dmm that it is important to work smart than work hard.. True but certain things I realized it's more than that. Not about getting it faster nor rushing it but rather seeing it as a process, enjoying it and eventually reaping thr fruits of waiting. Easier said than done cos the process of waiting, moulding, dudcovering is a real tough one . You think u kinda get it and the next moment u dun and it leaves u feeling real disillusioned and back to point zero ( emotionally). It's tempting to skip the process , it is tempting to simplify things and sweep things under the carpet, it's easy to take the easy way out but has anything great come out of taking the easy way out? Tears and sweat involved. Perhaps these are but necessary ingredients of an eventually sustaining and fulfilling relationship.
