Many men traveling the road of a Christian life, no matter where they are on that walk, can fall into the trap of trying to do to much. We want to help others, we want to be there for them, and our caring gene goes full tilt. That's not a bad thing at all...in fact, as Christians we are following our marching orders by doing so.
But, and yes, there is a but involved. Just like a roaring campfire, if we don't keep feeding it, the flames will die out. Or, if we put too much wood on it, it will get out of control. In our Christian walk there has to be balance. We cannot forget to take care of ourselves because we can't pour ourselves out to others if our own cup is empty.
Bottom Line Thought: Balance in our lives is so important to all with whom we are in relationship, and most importantly to ourselves. Have you looked for signs of imbalance in your life?
