I have had multiple people pray over me and tell me that I am a very balanced person. I have also heard others say that no where in the Bible did it say that Jesus was balanced. Their argument is that Jesus wasn't a little about serving the poor. He wasn't just a little bit about prayer. And he doesn't call us to be that either.
I would have to agree. However, since when was balance about being just a little bit about something. When I read the gospels, Jesus was all about prayer. He was all about the Kingdom. He was 100 Percent about poor and fully about his fathers business. He was balanced in the sense that he cared about these things equally and he calls us to the same standard. Perhaps balance isn't the vest word. Maybe wholeness fits better and is easier to grasp. Jesus was wholly about each one of these things.
As he calls us to wholeness, be have to examine how Jesus lived this "whole" life. First, each thing that Jesus was about was empowered by one another. Jesus didn't see prayer as one part of his spirituality and serving the poor as another part. They were married together. It was all one for him. The umbrella for all this was that He was all about his fathers business. Whatever He saw his father doing, Jesus did. That is how we should be. We should be "wholly" about our fathers business.
