If you’re giving all the time and never filling back up, you’re going to be depleted. You’re good to others; why don’t you be good to you? You’re kind to others, be kind to yourself. Be generous to yourself; be loving to yourself.

It’s not selfish to take time for you. You need time to get refreshed, to reenergize. You shouldn’t be so busy that you don’t have time to be alone, time to laugh, time to exercise. You need recreation. You need things that keep you in balance.

If you don’t learn to say no to some things, then nothing will change. Stay in balance. You can’t work all the time, serve your family all the time, be strong for others all the time. Tune into Joel’s message today, "Take Care of Yourself"! bit.ly/JOAPodcast

You’re about to see the God of breakthroughs, the God who suddenly shows up and puts an end to what’s holding you back. He wants you to be unquestionably free. That means there’s nothing draining your joy, nothing hindering you, nothing limiting you.

Make sure you call out to God. Ask Him to help you. He created the universe. He flung stars into place. He has all power. You don’t have to beg Him; you don’t have to plead with Him. He’s longing to be good to you.
