Title: What about your own vineyard?
Scripture: Songs of Solomon 1:6
"Don't stare at me because I am dark-the sun has darkened my skin. My brothers were angry with me; they forced me to care for their vineyards, so I couldn't care for myself-my own vineyard." Note that 'activity does not mean productivity'. Many of us do well in helping others achieve their goals; which is a good thing to do. (I do so too personally). But we can become so involved that we may not even make time to work on ourselves, and build strong character.
The truth is that when you keep pouring without making time to re-store or invest in yourself as well, with time you would have nothing else to offer and you would not be relevant to that particular generation. Even Jesus sometimes left the crowd to be alone. Some people can work you out, till the sun turns your skin black. But nonetheless, your master requires the best from you because at the end of the day He would ask "what did you do with the talent I gave you?". And I pray you give Him a better report. @ABTru-worshipa
