Balance is brought through a continual focus on Christ. Imbalance
comes when we lose this focus. We are so easily distracted from pure and
simple devotion to Christ. Peter was distracted too. In John 21:21–22,
(NIV) we find him asking Jesus about John, his fellow disciple, saying,
“Lord, what about him?” Jesus simply said, “If I want him to remain
alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” This is
what Jesus says to us today. “What is that to you? You must follow me.”
In all of this, let us have a heart of love toward others in
maintaining balance. You don’t have to be angry or upset with anybody
for having a different view. You are free. A life of balance sets us free—free to follow Him and to love one another.
