Let me say this plainly.
Being a person of faith does not mean being exhausted for God.
Somewhere along the way, many of us started equating holiness with overextension.
Always available.
Always fixing.
Always the strong one.
Always saying yes.
But Jesus rested.
He withdrew from crowds.
He didn’t heal every person in one day.
He didn’t respond to every demand immediately.
And He is not asking you to either.
You don’t get extra grace for running yourself into the ground.
You don’t get bonus favor for ignoring your limits.
Rest is not rebellion.
Boundaries are not selfish.
Forgiveness is not weakness.
Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is stop…
forgive what needs forgiving…
release what isn’t yours…
and walk forward with purpose.
This season is not about proving how much you can carry.
It’s about becoming who God is shaping you to be.
Move differently.
Walk lighter.
And stop apologizing for protecting your peace.
