Is your "I can do it myself" attitude actually leaving you exhausted?
We wear hyper-independence like a badge of honor. We’re taught to be self-reliant, to never ask for help, and to figure it all out on our own. But honestly? Carrying the weight of the world on your own shoulders is a heavy way to live.
John 15 gives perspective on 'honor that comes from the hustle'.
Jesus calls Himself the True Vine and reminds us that we are simply the branches. Think about that: a branch doesn't "hustle" to grow grapes. It doesn't try to be independent of the tree. It just stays connected.
When we lean into that "DIY" spirituality, we eventually hit a wall.
We realize:
Self-sufficiency leads to burnout.
Dependence on Christ leads to peace.
If you’re tired of trying to force things to happen in your own strength, here is your permission to stop and reconsider another way.
What way? His way.
See you at church this Sabbath.
