Who told us that we would have all the answers just because we're called to help others? Who convinced us that God would never call upon us to impact lives, even while we endure our own personal struggles? Whoever it was... seriously misled us.
You see, the fact that you are not where you want to be, does not negate your ability to assist someone else in their time of need. Personal struggles and hardships do not automatically absolve you of your responsibility to be a blessing to someone else.
When you give out of your own need, and work to mend someone else, even while you're broken, it pleases God. Granted, during these times you may feel conflicted; you may feel that you are leading a double life. Others are looking to you for love, support, and strength; when you, yourself, feel weak, vulnerable, and inept.
But here's what I want you to see. God never promised that everyday would be easy. He never said that your road would be smooth. Yet, He wants you to rise above what you may be going through personally, and focus on the need of someone outside of yourself.
When you become selfless instead of selfish, God will honor your compassionate heart. What's more, whatever you sow into the life of someone else, you will reap in kind. My prayer for you today is that you will enlarge your vision. In doing so, you'll see the needs of others and not just your own.
Until next time... may you be empowered to prosper!
