Living Balanced

 “Come to me by yourselves

to a quiet place and get some rest.”

Mark 6:31

“You are a three-part being - spiritual, physical, and emotional.  You have to take care of each one.  You can pray for twenty-four hours a day, but you’re not going to feel well physically.  You can go to the gym and work out five hours a day, seven days a week, but you’re not taking time for your spiritual and emotional side, you’re not going to be your best.  You can’t stay up all night and not get proper sleep and expect to have the passion you need.  You can’t drink twenty cups of coffee a day, eat junk food, and expect to feel well.  Some people are discouraged, don’t have any energy and praying for miracle.  If Jesus showed up, He would say,”Get away and quiet yourself.  Get some sleep.  Start eating better. Take care of yourself.”

Living balanced is the key.  You have to take care of all three parts.  You will be your most productive, your most effective,, when you’re balanced physically, spiritually and emotionally.  If you neglect one area, it will lesson what you could accomplish.”
