I've been thinking about why I keep making myself so busy. I seek approval in other people. I want to be the go-to person. I want people to need me. I want to be liked. I don't want to tell people "no". I want them to know that they can rely on me.
I am limited. I have a finite capacity. I can only obligate myself to a limited amount of time before things start to slide.
I think part of it, also, is that I don't want to miss out on something awesome. What if I say "no" to something, and it turns out to be really awesome. And I missed it. Then I will regret not saying "yes".
I have to really seek the Lord and listen to Him. Maybe Piper is right: God is most glorified when I am most satisfied in Him. If I really delight in the Lord, then I wouldn't worry about missing out on something awesome.
Heavenly Father, I love you, and I want to walk with you. I want to know you, and I want to delight in you. I pray in the name of Jesus.
