The Starving Baker
"David, I've asked God since you were a baby, that He would show you how strong He is in your life. And that through you, people will see how good He is."
"Then why did he make me so small, and weak?"
"To show how mighty He is."
You probably don't know what's with "The Starving Baker".. this illustration of a starving baker is from the book Habitudes by Dr Tim Elmore. It basically shows how some leaders spend too much time serving others to take care of themselves & their emotional, physical and spiritual health; thus they end up losing touch with why they are doing what they are doing - becoming only a front for others to see, but not living their beliefs out in their own lives.
Well, I don't want to be a starving baker. (:
