God teaches a lot through crazy human mediums. One of them of course being human nature. It is awefully easy -and natural- to look at a prize and want it so you push push push ahead to get it. Soon you're almost to the finish line when you realize the starting gun never fired.
Common sense advice: guard your heart.
I say crap to that.
The only One who can guard anything is Father God, our Lord to whom our entire lives are indebted. If not, then the minute we push, that will be the precise moment the prize will be ripped from our grasping fingers --nay, the moment our desperate empty fingers grasp at nothing. We cheat to get to the finish. We forfeit the prize. It was always our choice.
You won't hear a "no fair!" from me, God. I know who to blame.
