Someone said that living life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning to play the instrument as we go along. This saying describes the experience very well, but no one should worry about that. We are in this world for exactly that purpose – to learn.
While we are learning we do not expect to produce a perfect work. On this plane we are all students, and what matters is that each year we shall find the quality of our workmanship definitely better. People are sometimes depressed because their lives do not present a simple, logical, harmonious unfoldment, because their histories seem to be full of inconsistencies, repetitions, dead-ends. This, however, is only to be expected during the learning period.
Your life has not been rehearsed. It is an adventure, and a discovery, and a training, and it is the final goal that matters.
And let us not be weary in welldoing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Galatians 6:9).
Being perfect here below is not the goal. Learning to live as a loving, joyous and peaceful child of God is the real goal. As any child, we must learn to crawl, walk, fall and run through trial and error. That is the way physical existence works.
Peace, joy and love are ours for the claiming even with all the hurts, fears and falls that life in the physical world entails. Therein lies the Eden that God created for us. May we learn to live in it.
Sill learning,
