* I can see where we *appear to disagree... it's in the definition of the
word burnout... Giving up is not burnout. Giving up is a worldy trait that
leads to lazyness and apathy when taken to the extreme.. showing a total
lack of faith in God's abilities to make miracles happen. That's different
than my definition... My definition of burn out has nothing to do with
giving up, it has to do with exhaustion coupled with frustration and at
times, phsyical illness caused from the stress of continually doing battle
call it "battle fatigue" if you will)... As Christians, we are all called
to rely upon God, but none of us are superhuman.... despite our faith. God
created us and he fully understands that. He wants us to rely on him, but
also to rely on the strength of each other when we're not 'in form' due to
the stresses we face on the front lines.
I restate... "even the toughest soldiers have to leave the front line now
and again." Those that don't fall down from exhaustion and physical and
emotional weakness. What makes a Christian Soldier any different?
Parson.
