The Illusion of "Arrival"

Beware of the illusion of "arrival."It's common to think that once you cross "that" item  off of your to-do list, solve that big problem, achieve that goal, make that change, or move to that new place, that then you will finally arrive. But, life doesn't work that way.The false belief is that a new accomplishment, experience, circumstance, or location will give you rest and security that your life currently lacks.Nope. There's always something. This side of the grave there will always be unmet goals, suffering, new problems to solve, and grass that looks greener. Arrival is an illusion.Arrival (being home) will come when we meet Jesus face to face. Until then, the trick is to learn how to rest in God's grace and care while getting used to (and thriving in) the ever-changing, challenging, never-arriving adventure called life.
