Burned Out

Are you the kind of Christian that goes to Church 7 days a week? “Kulang na lang duon kana tumira”, because of all practices and activities you guys have at Church. And thoughts just bangs on your mind: “I’m tired... When is this gonna end... I want to go home... I’m always the one left with responsibility... How come he/she is not doing anything..” You want to be angry, but then God made you realized that YOU WANT THIS... YOU ASKED FOR THIS. Do you remember the time when you told God “Lord, I surrender my life to You, please use me for Your glory alone.” The truth is many of us are running away whenever God is calling us. REMEMBER: YOU PRAYED FOR THIS. A CHRISTIAN MUST PERSEVERE AND PAY THE PRICE OF SACRIFICE. Do not panic because many Christians are also experiencing BURNOUT. You are not the only one in fact I, myself also experiencing it right now. It is the time of the year again when the Lord is using me to the extent of my ability; and the enemy is also attacking me double time. My whole body feel so tired and exhausted from all the practices we have for our Church Anniversary. It affected the way I think -easily irritated, I don’t know why. And also, I complained for many things... then I realized that I'm going back to my old self again. GOOD NEWS: God is so good because He is letting us come to Him freely. It says in Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” So, whenever we feel BURNOUT let us come to Jesus. Let us seek His face and ask to renew the joy in serving Him. Then He will for sure give us true and satisfying rest in His presence. No turning back. God's joy is our strength. -Nehemiah 08:10
