Oliver Mtukudzi - Right Direction (1989)

(for someone who’s wondering about where it’s all going)

If you’re trying to do something, there’s only one way to know if you made it. You’ve got to know what your end result looks like.

That’s true whether you’re trying to get somewhere, or if you’re trying to accomplish something, or if you’re trying build something. You’ll never know if you’ve actually done it. Unless you know what it looks like.

And that’s true for every step on the way there as well. You’ll never know whether all of your efforts moving you in the right direction. If you don’t know what it looks like.

Which is why today’s Solemnity, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is so important.

Because if you’re trying to be closer to God. If you’re trying to follow Jesus. Then this is the target. The Sacred Heart of Jesus.

If you’re trying to do something, there’s only one way to know if you made it. You’ve got to know what your end result looks like.

If you’re a Christian, then the end result looks like the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

A Heart that has loved you from before you were born. A Heart that loves unconditionally, without counting the cost.

A Heart that’s so overflowing with God’s love that Good Friday becomes possible.

That’s the target. And the standard by which we need to measure every step on the way as well.

The more that you take another step towards God. The more your heart will look like the Sacred Heart.

The more your heart looks like the Sacred Heart? That’s how you know you’re headed in the right direction.
