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)
