Overcoming the Burnout epidemic - Anne Jackson (flowerdust.net)
- I loved Jesus, but his church was wearing me out.
- Since I had allowed spending time with God to be replaced by spending time doing things for God, my spiritual tank had been sucked dry. When that happened, I began to lose perspective on almost every area of my life. My defenses were down, and I allowed myself to start believing the little lies the enemy would throw into my path.
- John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it to the fullest.
- By taking our focus off the dysfunctions of our past, and changing it to how God can work through us as he uses our life journey - our history, our present, our future - we are less likely to burn out. Anytime we become less and God becomes more, it's his power being perfected in us.
Oswald Chambers - My utmost for His Highest
The people who influence us the most are not those who detain us with their continual talk, but those who live their lives like the stars in the sky and "the lilies of the field" - simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mold and shape us.
- If you want to be of use to God, maintain the proper relationship with Jesus Christ by staying focused on him, and he will make use of you every minute you live - yet you will be unaware on the conscious level of your life, that you are being used by him.
