It is the exact opposite in fact, it is a gift. <br /><br />There are thousands of people, maybe even millions, who do not possess such a gift. Sure they can have the want, but the actual gift of naturally being able to help another person is rare. <br /><br />You giving of yourself is exactly what you were made to do! Be a servant. You spread your joy all around to thousands of children making their day that much better, and your friends rely on your wisdom because you have something that they don't. <br /><br />But doing it alone will drain you. <br /><br />You are human, flesh and blood. Something I learned being an RA is that when you run out of energy, that is the best time to rely on the Lord. Its a very strange concept, aside from hearing it all the time, but if you actually think about it, and actually put it in his hands, he will take care of it. <br /><br />Its like the Jedi. They don't fight of their own accord, they tap into the force and let it flow through them and thats how they are the most powerful in the galaxy... or at least were... a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. <br /><br />So when you have nothing left to give, just tap into the Lord and he will fuel you, direct your movements, and give you the wisdom you need. All you have to do is ask. <br /><br />1 Kings 3:9 Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, able to discern between good and evil; for who can govern this your great people. <br /><br />He likes that.<br /><br />3:10 - It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this.Staphonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757435593625826537noreply@blogger.com
