Being and Becoming

I found this written in an old journal. I can't remember if this is an original writing or if it came from something I was reading at the time. It still sounds good though.

Is doing more important to you than being?
Is what you are acquiring more important to you than what you are becoming?
Is your job more important to you than relationships?
Are things more important to you than people or people's needs?
Do you think busyness, speed, and efficiency rank near the top of the list of virtues?

Think about things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy. (Philippians 4:8)

Don't be so concerned with doing as being.
And not so concerned with being as becoming.
Becoming like Christ.
