Balance is Essential

Being balanced usually keeps us in line or at least moving straight ahead at an even pace.

Have you ever drove really fast in your car only to find the steering shot, the car or truck vibrating and wobbling like some carnival ride? You realize the front end alignment is out of whack and it needs to be aligned properly.

The person walking on a tight rope needs balance to get to the other side of the rope.

There are times in our lives we need an adjustment, because we lost our balance and did not realize that our life was out of control and off the rails. When a major crisis or event hits you like a loss of a loved one, a divorce, a financial upheaval, maybe a nervous breakdown due to uncontrollable stress, or chronic depression, etc.

You may feel like doing absolutely nothing, being lonely or anti-social like going out with friends or coworkers. You might even pull the shades down on a beautiful sunny day and just stay in bed because your so depressed. Alcohol and pot sales are through the roof and you may not realize how much you have been drinking, smoking, or taking excess prescription drugs.

Perhaps you feel trapped and you are experiencing this “I don’t care attitude”, but the reality is that you may need help and you don’t even realize it.

I want to encourage you to get the help you need. Call a trusted friend or coworker. Get up and get dressed and get some fresh air and maybe even some exercise.

Look to the Lord for strength and hope. God knows what you are going through and is there with you, waiting for you to look to Him (Jesus) and cry out for help.

Cast all your cares on Him (Jesus) for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

Even though you can’t see or feel God, faith will steer you into the right direction and begin to bring you into balance.
(I realize that there are people with extreme cases and have bipolar, psychosis, or chemical imbalances in life, where you need proper medical care, medication, and counseling). In any case reach out to get the proper help, because it’s worth it.
It’s worth it for you, your family, co workers and friends. Those who judge you are either ignorant or immature. Hope is always available for you.

You do not have to live in isolation or darkness feeling trapped and drowning in continuous grief. The wheels in life at times do spin out of control and vibrate profusely. However, getting an alignment will bring you back into balance so you can move forward in life with peace, joy, and hope.

Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.” “But sir, you don’t have a rope or a bucket,” she said, “and this well is very deep. Where would you get this living water? And besides, do you think you’re greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his animals enjoyed?” Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”
John 4:10‭-‬14 NLT

May you begin and find your journey of hope with a talk and walk with Jesus. He’s known to be a friend who sticks closer than a brother. This takes faith and humility along with prayer and reading God’s word. The altar is a starting point and the right medical help is essential as well.

Enjoy your weekend my friend.
