When the truth transforms to trust...when
someone we love is hurting-we hurt too & want to help them overcome
their situation. Often, our sincere motive to help actually hinders
them-we confuse loving them with rescuing them. Loving them is being
available emotionally & physically, reminding them of God's truth,
& giving them the freedom to seek Christ & trust Him to provide a
way. Rescuing them puts you...between them & God, making you their
problem solver-cheating them out of a personal experience to seek Christ
with confidence when they're faced with adversity. You must remove
yourself as the go-to person so your loved one will seek Christ
first...instead of you. If you continue to rescue, you are interfering
with Holy Business. Release those you love to God; trust Him to provide
what they need-remember...He loved them first. One of the most powerful
ways we can help those we love, is to model our trust in Jesus,
believing He will make a way-even when we do not see a way. Standing
firm on what we know...verses how we feel-believing He will provide all
our needs. A person can be told the truth that God will provide a
way..but the truth transforms to trust...when they do not see a way and
then God makes a way. You will never know if God will handle your
situation until you give Him a chance to handle it...will you let Him?
Blessings friend.

Shining God's truth across the world (Mt 5:16). When we lay down who we think we should be...we make room to become who God says we can be-His masterpiece to do the good works He planned long ago (Eph 2:10).
