Ever since I joined the ministry back in 2007, I've come to realize just how passionate I am about people. I find myself constantly "carrying the burden of others" as the Scripture tells us to do in which we fulfill the law. Throughout the process of trying to fulfill the law, I begin to allow certain situations, or people, to become an addiction. Many times, we can become SO involved into someone's life that we get in the way of what God wants to do in their life. We stand in His way.
The mom from "Diary of a Mad, Black Woman" once said "God has the power to show you who God is." Whenever I heard those words, I was left speechless. We deprive Him of that power when we try to take that position in someone's life. I'm having to learn the hard way, since I'm hard-headed, that I cannot be there for everything. I'm slowly learning that just because I'm not constantly around the people I want to help doesn't mean I can't live life to the fullest.
If you ever want to lead a successful life as a leader to many, you have to learn how to rest. "Rest? What's that?" I know, I ask the same question everyday. But, if you're constantly going and going, and never take time for yourself, you'll find yourself in a place of constant exhaustion, and you'll never effectively lead anyone. I hope this encourages others like it does me!
