Life Balance is Overated
by John on Jan.14, 2010, under Spiritual Formation
There isn’t an easy or pat answer to maintaining balance in your life. Sometimes I think that Christians overate “balance”. It’s not so much about balance as it is about boundaries…living your life in such a way that the Holy Spirit is un- quenched and un-grieved in all your relationships/endeavors.
Practice life and ministry out of the intimacy of your relationship with the Trinity –just like Jesus did. In reading the gospels it often looked like Jesus life was out of balance…yet he only did what the Father told him to…he lived his life out of the overflow of his relationship with the Father.

I like your perspective…the focus is not on the scales of balance (too much of this…not enough of that) but it’s on the One that I need to fix my eyes upon.
