One day there was a little boy who was playing in a field near the house ... The little boy was looking around and back to the sun, then suddenly he was interested in seeing his own reflection ...
He goes to follow his reflection in the hope he could run ahead of his shadow. More and ran until he was exhausted but he might reach the shadow. At that time his father who was watching admonished him, "Son, what are you doing?", Replied the boy "I want my shadow well ahead '
Scolds his father again "if you want to precede your shadow, then ran toward the sun, then you are not chasing your shadow, but shadow is chasing you."
This story invites us to reflect on our lives. We illustrate shadows as wishful thinking, worldly values that we want to achieve. While the sun is God. As we seek to pursue our desires (soul mate, fortune and happiness), without realizing we are actually running away from God. What happened? The things that we want it even further away from us.
We need to do is "turn toward the sun", is back pursuit of God, serve Him and obey all my commands always so all what we want without us knowing it will come naturally to follow us.
