BURN OUT
Frazzled and fried
Fumes rising
From ambitions pyre
Smoke of charred aspirations
Dead
One foot before
Another
Mindless movement
Orbiting exhausted
Cells
Fog
Floating headward
Corrupting direction
Incapable coherence
Lost
Service in my name
Not His
If we are devoted to the cause of humanity, we shall soon be crushed and broken-hearted, for we shall often meet with more ingratitude from men than we would from a dog; but if our motive is love to God, no ingratitude can hinder us from serving our fellow men.
When we realize that Jesus Christ has served us to the end of our meanness, our selfishness, and sin, nothing that we meet with from others can exhaust our determination to serve men for His sake.
My Utmost for His Highest (Oswald Chambers)
