You are not alone...

When you are learning to ride a two- wheeler for the first time, having someone there to support the bike as you are attempting to maintain balance provides assurance that you are not alone.

 

A parent teaches their child how to balance themselves on a two wheel bike while running alongside them as they accomplish their goal. Encouragement is a great form of exercise.

When you are trying to carry something that is too large for you it is wise to ask for another person to lend you a hand. Having someone on the other side adds balance to the process. Share the weight of a burden with another...

Have you have ever found yourself without a way to get to where you are trying to go? Maybe a wall is too high to scale or a valley to wide to cross. Yet having a kind soul offer to give you a lift is a welcomed gesture. Knowing that for the time of your travels you are not alone on that journey or left to fend for yourself in the elements of the moment can bring peace of mind to a tired body & a weary soul.

Feelings are the emotions reasoning of what is actually happening. When you feel down, discouraged, distraught, or disillusioned by what you are facing in a situation that seems far too big to handle, having a friend give you an encouraging word can clear your mind of worry.

Knowing you are not alone; that another person has been where you are, has felt as you feel, & has fought the temptations you are waging war against...helps you to reconfirm & maybe readjust your ability to get a handle on reality. 

Invest the time &
reach out to others...
let them know you care.

“Never Let Others Walk on you.”

Did you ever feel like someone's 'doormat'? Are folks comfortable wiping their feet of frustrations upon you? Do people in your life ignore their responsiblity for the issues that have become attached to the Soul of their being 'defeated'? Actually this can be a weird kind of compliment. These folks feel a sense of confidence in YOU. They want YOU to take on the dirt of their responsibilities so they can, once again, leave them without a second thought. This is a sad situation. And the dirt of these decisions is piling up in front of the door of opportunity. Let's find a path to the divine 'room for change'

This 'door mat disease' is an outward expression of one's inner personality power struggle. This ‘acting out’ is acceptable amongst those who are of like mind. Yet, when displayed before those who recognize the distorted reality of reasoning, it will appear harsh, hurried, & hateful in nature. Don't just lie there!!! Stand Up! Pray & Stand Strong!

Pray for acceptance; that you may have compassion & see the shell of their wounded heart as one that is crying in need of understanding. Some hardened hearts will not be open to change, yet will cling tightly to their need to be right in fear of having to admit their weaknesses. This is their last arrow in their hunt for survival of self esteem & control. God knows you are in the midst of this uncomfortable character-crossfire. AND He has provided you with what you need... You have the Shield of Faith & the Sword of His Word.

He has armed you with tender Words of encouragement.(James 1:12: Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds./ Luke 6:28: Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you./Ephesians 6:13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand)

The next time someone attempts to wipe their feet of despair or disgust upon your back, whether with words or actions, stand straighter & more firmly in your faith. Speak gently & with confidence...'Know' that it is alright to say 'No'. Yubw8n? Clearly it is difficult to hold someone down when they are standing strong.
