Your Doing vs. Your Being

The line in the middle of these two is where I find I seem to spend more time than I should. I've struggled with this for awhile, with being consistent in knowing that my being is enough because society places so much on our doing. We are constantly comparing ourselves to one another or to the likeness of one another (because how many know we post through rose colored glasses on social media). I long for connections that are about my being and not always about my doing. In other words, if you just came and were somewhere (not your job of course) would you still be a part or is coming and doing what makes your piece fit into the puzzle? Hear my heart for a minute....there is a balance in the midst of our being and our doing. When we are filled it overflows to our doing. When we know that we are where He has called us for a season...we serve out of our doing. Don't get so caught up in pouring out that you forget to take a moment and let Him pour back into you. If your season isn't where you have a place to be poured into on Sunday, then find it in your own quiet time during the week or with an accountability partner. You have not because you ask not....ask God for that place where you can connect and be a part just because of who you are. Then when He opens the door, run through it...I've learned so many times we ask God for something so specific that when He answers with what we need, we don't always recognize it. Trust that God knows the season you are in and what you need to grow.....after all He knit you together from the start sweet reader.
