Hurry

As counter-cultural as this may sound, busyness isn’t a virtue. That’s probably not the message that you’ll get from paying attention to social media, Hollywood, or even your family members and friends. But that’s the message that you’ll get from reading the gospels. So before you start applauding yourself for having such a busy life, consider slowing down and taking time to rest instead.

“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is comfortable, and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 NASB)
