REFILLING YOUR TANKAbout five years ago, an Americannews paper featured an article that

described how a Christian leader

disqualified himself from ministry. Hehas experienced a melt down:

This is how it read

(He) sank like a rock, beat up,burned out, angry & depressed, nogood to himself and no good to the

people he loved

10

REFILLING YOUR TANKWhen this leader finally wrote publicly

about his experience, he said: eventually I couldnt even sleep at

night.Another wave of broken lives would

come to shore at the church, and I foundI didnt have enough compassion for

them any more.Inside I became angry, angry, angry!

Many people still wonder what happenedto me. They think I had a crisis of faith.The fact is I simply collapsed on the

inside

11

REFILLING YOUR TANKIf we could make life to order, thenwe could evenly space seasons ofgetting depleted or seasons oftrouble

BUT LIFE CANNOT BE SCRIPTEDMat 18:7a KJV Woe unto the world

because of offences! for it must needs

be that offences come;

blocks! for there is a necessity for the

stumbling-blocks to come,

BBE A curse is on the earth because of

trouble! for it is necessary for trouble to

come;

GNB How terrible for the world that there

are things that make people lose their faith!

Such things will always happen
