Think about a three legged stool. It can not be sat properly
or effective on unless all the legs are there and same length.
I learnt that if we are striving to chase God more than
anything else, we will loose out on relationships and the
love that God brings through relationships and that God
wants us to be with others. We can also focus too much on
others to fill the gap inside of us, which distances us
from God and also we can forget ourselves and become a
people pleaser. If we focus too much on our self then we
could become too self absorbed and worship our self and do
things in our own strength for our own glory. So God wants
us to have a balance in all this areas to be complete..
to be at peace with him , others and our self.
As well as peace, Shalom means to complete.
God's amazing. He doesn't want our outer life to be divided up like a pie, with one slice of the pie marked "spiritual life". He's interested in ALL of us, every single part of our life. He wants to see our heart balanced, so we can learn to...
Love the right thing,
At the right time,
To the right degree,
With the right kind of love.

What shall I do with these paintings of yours? I really don't have space for them where I am moving to. Maybe I can leave them here in the house, but I'm not sure how you'd be able to get them back.
