Just Say No

I have a problem: I can't say no. My concept of time is skewed. Sure, no problem, I can be at eight places in one day! I have a confessioin: I even VOLUNTEER myself for things without someone asking me! But there is only so much one can do in a 24 hr. period! The hard thing is that most of the things I do are things I love. However, when you have too much to do, they become more of a chore than pleasure. I think that I often feel that I need to "do" for God-though a wise person once said, "we are human "beings," not human doings." God doesn't love me for the things I do for Him, but who I am. And if I don't spend time with Him, my efforts are fruitless (John 15 "I am the vine, you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in Him, he will bear much fruit. Apart from me, you can do nothing.") Oh, if I could just remember that. And learn to say no.
