We all want to give and receive loyalty, respect, and acceptances to and from our spouses, siblings, children, parents, co-workers, friends, neighbors, customers, and strangers. We want to be successful within our careers, communities, and we want to be faithful within our churches.
The challenges we must face ongoing is to Balance:
Work/Leisure
Action/Meditation

Handwork/Headwork
Intensity/Idleness
Giving/Receiving
Serving/Waiting
Applying/Learning
Structure/Spontaneity
Assertiveness/Submissiveness

MOST OF ALL
We must balance our self-identity in Christ.
“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority” (Colossians 2: 9-10 NIV).
