BALANCE

It is very often that people ask me how it is that I'm able to balance my life, my family, my ministry, my leisure.

My response is simple: "I don't."

In my opinion, the balanced life is hardly achievable - and most probably not Biblical. Did Jesus call us to balance? One of the fruit of the Spirit? Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Balance ... ?

When you follow Jesus, life will often be out-of-balance. He may lead us on long stretches of ministry followed by substantial amounts of rest. Life is rarely predictable.

Maybe we need a sermon about how to be imbalanced in a way that honors God.

And be blessed.
