The fear of God empowers you, not to work harder but to rest well so that you have the capacity for what God has called you to without feeling so overwhelmed by what people expect from you.
Discover the fear of God and find rest.
I don’t know who do needs to hear this but the reason you’re feeling burnt out might not just be because you are working too hard physically. It may be because you’re working too hard mentally and emotionally to prove your worth and value to others.
The expectations of people weigh you down but the fear of God is a foundation you stand on not a burden you take on. In the fear (reverence, worship, awe) of God, you are transformed from the inside out because it provides a a sustainable source for your mind, body, and spirit
You are not a pond—a dumping ground for the good and bad opinions of others. You are a pipe—a vessel that opinions can flow through and flow to while it remains connected to an everlasting source, a love powerful enough to wash away every insecurity—the living water of God.
“Focusing on God more and yourself less makes you secure enough to show unconditional love, because you do not need reciprocation to know that you are valuable and worthy. You can have relationships that are more meaningful, because your love for other people isn’t self centered”
If the truth sets you free (John 8:32), then you can only be as free as the level of truth you’re operating in. If there are undiscovered truths, then there is untapped freedom.
