Read 2 Corinthians 10:15 – Neither do we go beyond our limits by boasting of work done by others. Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our area of activity among you will greatly expand.
When setting “budgets” for your time, resources and skills, you have to determine how much you have and how much you are willing to give away. Can you really afford to loan the car? Can you give that large donation this year? Can you really fix the plumbing without it costing twice what it costs to call a professional?
What about respecting those same limits for others? Does your spouse have enough time to do that added task you gave her? Do your children try harder than normal to please you? Have you pushed them beyond their limits? Do you expect more out of your pastor than you really should? He is a man of God, but he is still just a man.
