In the midst of our busyness, the world’s perspective is to SLOW DOWN while God’s prescription is to CENTER DOWN.
• Slowing down deals with our running; centering down deals with our Lostness
• Slowing down questions our capacity; centering down questions our confusion
• Slowing down offers us a consolation; centering down offers us a compass
• Slowing down helps us catch a breath; centering down helps us catch a vision
• Slowing down blames external environment; centering down examines our inner roots.
• Slowing down is a vicious cycle; centering down is a vital solution.
• Centering down is all about anchoring with Jesus!
In London, the geographical heart is Charing Cross. All distances are measured from it. This historic spot is referred to simply as ‘the cross’.
One day, a lost chile was picked up by a London policeman, or ‘bobby’ as they are called. They child was unable to tell where he lived.
Finally, in response to the repeated questions of the bobby, and amid sobs and tears, the little boy said, “If you will take me to the cross, I think I can find my way from there.“
So true in life as well. Take us to the Cross of Jesus, and we will be able to find our way from there! =)
