Just
about everyone eventually gets to a place in their everyday work experience where
change would be a welcome relief from the routines that have long lost their
challenge. Even the rewards of safety and security of everyday work routines do
not compensate for the absence of heartfelt meaning and purpose for how life is
spent.
Working only for financial security and
recognition may eventually result in mental and physical burn-out, a major
cause of crisis for people in their mid-life years. Each person's core being, that
part of the self that needs affirmation and nurturing, must be in harmony with the
way life is lived. To be out of harmony creates displeasure with just about
every aspect of life.
However
making sweeping changes during mid-life may not be productive. It's beneficial to present needed changes to the
redemptive power and guidance of Christ Jesus. He will give wisdom and
direction for any needed changes. I am confident that he who began a good work
in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
