How to return to there from here, part 2

Ruth 1: 6-14

V6 “…prepared to return home.”

2. Get ready because there’s no coming back
Going on holiday and moving house are quite different. It is different in preparation. For a holiday you take as much as you need or are allowed to carry in your suitcase. When you move house, you take everything.
It is different in the end result. Wherever the holiday has been you always look forward to your own bed because it’s good to be away but always good to be home. When you’ve moved house you cannot go back and knock on the door and say “Let me in, it’s raining. I’ll just take a quick bath and then have a lie down on the bed.” You have no authority to your past life.
Too many want to move forward, become all that they can become and do it all in a holiday and then return to their life and what they know and their comforts.
It’s time to make final preparations and make our preparations final. No longer on daytrips with God but to say, “I’m getting ready to become all that I can become and there is no coming back to my old way of thinking, attitudes and commitments.”
