Mary and Martha

In life sometimes, we feel that there are too many things to be done, too many responsibilities to fulfill, and too many expectations to meet. That at times, we become so concerned about the results that we can produce, we forget to stop and listen to the silly chatters of people, look at the flowers. Talk to people, catch a breath or two, comfort a friend, hear the band sing, enjoy the morning breeze, enjoy good company.

This season of my life, it just hit me that at times we can be like a machine...doing something for good intentions, but we forget that we need to enjoy and experience the journey. Then we begin wondering why certain relationships drift apart, certain things in life are not as simple as before anymore? It is because at times, we felt we are overwhelmed by the many things in life that it is okay if we should skip certain journeys and certain people just so that we can produce good work and finish everything in time = we thought people would understand, we thought we wouldn't miss that much. "Those are not important" some would say. Nonetheless, it is not the results of what you achieve that is going to bring impact to the world. It is the journey that you have brought them through, the journey that you have experienced with them. The same goes: It is not the results that God is concerned about. It is the journey.

People will not remember you for the things you achieve for long. But people will remember the countless moments you were with them. The good times, the bad times. The cheerful, fun times, the gloomy times.




Relationship is the one thing that makes all journeys worthwhile. A kind word, a listening ear, a happy smile, a firm pat on the back make all the differences. As the effect of the results wither away, it is the memory of the journey that stays imprinted in our mind forever. Choose to experience a good journey today as you strive for great results. The JOURNEY CAN determine the results. It doesn't have to be "either or". We can have both a great journey and a great result.

Be more like Mary instead of Martha. For Mary earns the favor of Jesus. Walk WITH Him, not ahead of Him.
