Overloaded!!

Overloaded!! WAAAAAYYYY overloaded!!

Do you ever feel this way? I sure do!

As a matter of fact, this is my first attempt at a blog this week just because I have felt so overloaded.

By overloaded, I mean too many important things to do in the time it seems that I have in which to do them.

But I have to face the reality that my days have the same 24 hours in them that everyone else's days do so the problem of overloading must be mine. There seems to be something inherently wrong with the way I do things.

I am excited about this today because God has reminded me what it is that I'm doing wrong.

I am seeking to do the things He has brought to me to do, FOR Him rather than WITH Him, and there is all the difference in the world.

Our wonderful Heavenly Father loves us so much that when He saves us, He comes to live inside us. Holy Spirit takes up permanent residence in our hearts. God doesn't save us to continue to be apart from us. He saves us to be with us in the most intimate way possible.

He (and what He wants is really what should matter) wants to be with us and wants us to be with Him in all that we do.

I actually have come to believe that He despises it when we do things FOR Him.

But He loves it when we do things WITH Him.

And overloaded is what we feel when we are operating FOR Him out of our own power and strength rather than WITH Him out of His power and strength.

If you don't believe this will make a difference, just try it. I think you'll find what God has helped me find; doing things WITH Him is a lot easier and less stressful than doing things FOR Him.

Now, Dear Father, Help me to practice what You've shown me. Knowledge not put into practice is just information. It does little good.

Please pray for Revival. I'll help to remind you each day.

In His Love
Walter
