Balancing your life to achieve a greater level of intimacy


Lately, I have begun to look at my life and honestly contemplate how much true balance I actually have. When I say balance I speak in regards to spiritually, financially, physically, emotionally, and family. The goal for me is to abound in all of these areas, but I realize that it takes a certain type of Godly wisdom to abound in all of these areas and in turn have them all work together in true harmony. The truth is, we all are still growing which means there will be adjustments that we have to make in order to remain in God's will. Rom 8:28 speaks clearly about all things working together for our good just as long as we "love" him and also remain in his "purpose" for which we are called. As I end I would just like to encourage you to seek God for your true purpose in him through Christ Jesus, and also to examine your relationship and the amount (level) of love that you are offering unto God. Your level of intimacy with God can ultimately shape your destiny, and we must remember that all things are possible through Christ Jesus.

I know what you mean. I too have been asking God for a sense of balance as well in the areas that you mentioned. It does take a level of spiritual maturity and total dependence on God. I think the reason we fail at the balancing act is because we try to go it alone. The Lord tells us that "his yoke is easy and his burdens are light." Thus, when we find our self to be out of balance it should be a sign to us to trust God and lean not our own understanding. My whole desire is to operate in a level of excellence where God can get the glory in and through me.
