Time-Out

God created the world in six days. Then He took a day to sit back and enjoy all of the good things He's done. The Bible tells us God doesn't tire or sleep, but even He knew the value of a time-out.

We should be able to take time off without working and not feel guilty about it. We don't always have to be working in some way to justify our existence on earth. If work isn't balanced out with rest and fun, then we become a slave to it. Our fast-paced, high-pressure society urges us to accomplish as much as we can as quickly as we can - so we can then accomplish even more.

Most people, myself included, are extremely goal oriented. But I have learned that the intense pursuit of one goal after another can cause us to miss out on some of the enjoyment life offers us. God does have purposes and plans He wants us to fulfill during the course of our earthly lives, but He also wants us to enjoy and make the most of every day we live.

I challenge you to go to a whole new level of enjoyment in your daily life. Don't wait for a special occasion to enjoy life. Enjoy it moment by moment, day by day. Live with passion; laugh more; relax more; smile more; and simply enjoy more.

Take a time-out to enjoy true life and authentic happiness - the rich, deep, joy-filled life God intends for us.

HIS,
Dalinda
