God Does Not Want You to Destroy Yourself

From The Inner Voice of Love by Henri Nouwen

Give every part of your heart and your time to God and let God tell you what to do, where to go, when and how to respond.  God does not want you to destroy yourself.
Exhaustion, burnout, and depression are not signs that you are doing God's will.  

God is gentle and loving.  God desires to give you a deep sense of safety in God's love.  Once you have fully allowed yourself to experience that love fully, you will be better able to discern who you are being sent to in God's name.
