When I need to be alone I don't need to be a jerk. When I need to be around
people I should be careful not to over work.
Balance
People are all around,
I feel like a grain of sand.
The world is full of sound,
Help me find that quiet place in your hand.
When I need time alone,
don't allow me to cruel.
But help to humbly excuse myself don't let me speak like a fool.
There are times when I need to be,
In fellowship as you taught me.
There is a time to be alone, there is a time to be with others.
Help me to find the perfect balance Lord.
Help me to do right by my sisters and my brothers.
Alone Or Not To Be Alone
I love people and spending time with them. God seems to work it
out so I am with people in doses.
Sometimes it's just me and my husband. Sometimes it's us and a couple,
or me and a friend. Sometimes it's me and a group like at camp or church.
Sometimes I am in crowds so big I feel like a grain of sand, like at youth
rallies, or at concerts. I love all those times. But there are times when
I need to be alone. Like when I am really trying to work through something
with God. Or when I am trying to concentrate on something like this web
page. Being alone has it's other sides too. If I'm alone to much
depression can creep in, so can evil thoughts, and tormenting thoughts.
Being alone too much gets to be a rut that keeps me from good fellowship.
That's robbery because I treasure fellowship. The other side of the
coin is not spending enough time alone can cause burn out, trouble between
husbands and wives, and keep me from hearing God clearly. Praise be to
God He knows me so well so He gives me a good balance of time with people
and time alone. I love both times.
