I really like Galatians chapter 6. And there is a few versus that I want to share with all the people (...all two of them...) who read this. Galatians 6:2-3
"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks he is somthing when he is nothing, he deceives himself".
I feel like I have a 'job', if you will, to help people carry their burdens. I've spent a lot of time online and offline talking to people and trying to help them through what it is they are struggling with. I'm not trying to boast about myself - as is says in verse 14:
"May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."
But I'm just saying that isn't it great when you have a friend who will come up to you and drag you away, wanting to know whats going on? I'm glad I've had the chances to do that with some friends of mine. My advice, or wisdom, may not always be the best but please understand this! I only speak frankly and sometimes harshly to you as my friends because I do care so much about all of you.
Now I realize not that many people will see this but that's not why I write or even do anything. Perhaps God will speak to someone through me using this. If He is...whether your the one taking someone aside or your the one being taken aside DON'T WASTE THE OTHER PERSONS TIME!!! Spill your guts and say what needs to be said. It may be awkward at times, it may be difficult and every single being in your body may be telling you to be quiet and run away but I challenge all of you: don't leave problems bottled up. The pressure will continue to build until you can't confine it inside any more - then you have to deal with the aftermath of an explosion.
I could continue to write about this...but not now. Perhaps next time. God bless you all.
