Be free! Burnout is NOT God's way


God did not design us to go and go and go until we drop!

We are the Father's precious creation, crafted by hand, one-of-a-kind human beings. In all the people that have ever been or ever will be, there will only be ONE of you, by His design. He took His time, and He put in you treasures and skills (and quirks!) that make you a unique reflection of Himself...wow.

Yet, we sometimes don't get the value of ourselves. We misunderstand our purpose, and we assume that we are here just to get things done. We allow ourselves to become driven with doing, achieving...producing.

We forget that we are human BE-ings, not human DO-ings.

You are designed for fellowship with the Lord, and to follow His leading. Now don't get it twisted: He has purpose and destiny for you, and that involves PLENTY to get done, but He also orders it for you in seasons. And His seasons of "go" are interwoven with seasons of rest, and He teaches you to discern which is which.

And His strength allows you to enjoy both!

So stop trying to do all and be all to everyone, and surrender to Him so that you can make maximum impact in this earth for Him, His way, without burning yourself out.

God's way of life is good!
