Truth transforms to trust...

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.
