DAY 5 OF 5

The Most High wants us to have an abundant life, but we can’t have one if we live our lives trying to make everyone else happy. We must take the superman cape off because as long as we walk around like a superhero, people will keep asking us to do superhero things. I finally took my cape off, and I have to remind myself daily that I am not superman—I am human. . . .

It’s hard to take the cape off when it becomes your identity. No one will ever stop you from helping them. It’s up to you to renounce the superhero lifestyle. Never fret that you will lose your position when you have to temporarily step off the ladder of success to rest from a long work week or heal from emotional pain and/or trauma. Taking time to reflect will not hinder your progress. It will only empower you for a refreshed reentry. But you must take the time.

Keep in mind that the Most High cannot fill your cup if you keep moving it! Yahushua (Jesus) said His yoke is easy and His burden is light (Matt. 11:30). If your yoke isn’t easy and your burden isn’t light, it may not be from Him. Take off the cape my brother and be free — live from who you are, not what you do!


Prayer:

Father, thank You for giving me a heart to help people but gracefully teach me how to save myself. Please show which burdens are from You, so that I will not grow weary in well-doing, and please help me remember that You are my source of strength and peace. In the name of Yahushua (Jesus) I pray, amen.
