Staying Close To God

If you fill your calendar with important appointments, you will have no time for God
If you fill your spare time with essential reading, you will starve your soul
If you fill your mind with worry about budgets and offerings, the pains in your chest and the ache in your shoulders will betray you
If you try to conform to the expectations of those around you, you will forever be their slave
Work a modest day, then step back and rest
This will keep you close to God.

Dallas Willard
