Doing or Being?

Busy people cab often make me feel a little guilty. They stir up guilt because I always feel like I should be doing more around them - more service, more activities, more involvement. Guilt will creep up on me and I just wonder at the fact that God seems to be using them in all the activities that they do while here I am with little or nothing to do.
God really had to speak to my heart in and through that; He had to remind me that my worth and value are in Him alone and that it's not about what I do, it's about who I am and who He has made me to be. Being able to be still with God and rest in Him is so much more important then being able to "do" all these activities "for God."
It's sort of funny to me that the tables are turned. Now I am busy "doing" a whole bunch of things on campus. I constantly have to remind myself that it is not about what I do or about how much I do, it's about who I am and who I am with - seeing people as Jesus sees them and loving them as He does.
Spending time with Jesus and being still with Him is sill more important then "doing" of activities and being with people so much better then "accomplishing" things. I'm thankful to have that encouraged and modeled here at CIU and I hope and pray that as the semester and year continues God will keep this at the forefront - to be still and be with God is the most important thing.
