Matthew 11:30 (NIV) For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
What are the signs that we might have a burnout problem? Here are some indicators: anger, impatience, lack of compassion, and insomnia. There are more, of course. The core issue is that we must tend to our souls. Jesus clearly delineated between His type of burden and all others. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly (The Message). We must receive life from Him every day in order to live transcendently above the cares of this world. Even in the Church we can get burned out serving God; but unless we are receiving the life of God personally every day, we will not be able to bring life to others. Life begets life. A diminished soul is not a cost we should count when serving the Lord. How are you putting guardrails around your relationship with Jesus so you can “learn to live freely and lightly” in spite of all the pressures of life?
