@adewoyeangel@saint_ola It’s funny cos as a regular attendee, you really only see a tiny fraction of how the church operates. Joining a workforce reveals everything happening behind the scenes! At the end of the day, just serve wherever you feel led and keep the focus on worshipping God for His glory.
8/ But this doesn't mean giving is wrong. Giving is a beautiful thing.
The lesson is not to stop giving. It's to give with wisdom, healthy boundaries, and love for yourself too. The right people won't just receive your kindness, they'll return it. ❤️
🧵/1 - The psychological trap of being the perpetual "giver" is that sometimes your own brain betrays you, you over-function. When you always help, always understand, and always put the other person first, your own mind starts working against you.

It's looking back one day and realizing you built a comfortable life for everyone else...but forgot to save a place for yourself.
I strongly believe that no matter how close you are with friends, deciding what to share about your relationship should be a mutual agreement, not one person's gossip material. Even if its minor to you, agree on what, when, and with whom you share. No surprises.
