Best Yes
Making Wise Decisions in the Midst of Endless Demands
by Lysa TerKeurst
Summary
We have to learn how to say ‘no’ in order to be able to say ‘yes.’ As humans, we only have so much time and energy. When we continually agree to the endless requests on our time and resources, we find ourselves too drained to say our Best Yes. Best Yes people feel out of place in a people-pleasing world, but Best Yes people protect their resources in order to do the work for which they were created, the tasks that have the unmistakable fingerprints of God.

“Friend, you are strong. You are persevering, rough, able to bend without breaking, willing to be humbled to the point of humiliation, not blinded, a hunter for wisdom, a praying-through-it woman, a courageous gal, one who wants to learn the deep dependence of following hard after God Himself.”
