Understand That You Are Not God:


Understand that you are not God:
     Dishonest practice is the preventer of success. Sometimes you just have to own up to the fact that something’s not working. Face the fact that trying to fix the situation has failed. I know your heart is probably prone to helping victims and the less fortunate, and believe me, that’s a good quality. But, sometimes you have to realize that your ability is not good enough. Don’t let your concern for others distract you. Let go and let God. You are not God. This doesn’t mean that this person won’t get better if you don’t intervene. It just means that God is more suitable to handle the situation, so let the one who is in charge take charge.

     It is natural that when you see someone in a difficult situation that they’re facing you want to come to their rescue, and in most cases you can. But watch out for the ones who seem to repeatedly have needs and always come to you. They will try to make you feel like you should be there for them, when God is the only one who could be there at all times.
     One thing you must understand is that helping someone is different from carrying them. There is a saying that goes like this, “God helps those who help themselves.” What I am trying to say is one of the biggest hindrances to a person’s growth is always helping them and not giving them a chance to help themselves. You may think that you’re being helpful but in reality you’re blocking their learning process. What if this is God busy at work? How are they going to grow? In fact, if you are always there for them, why would they even attempt to do something for themselves? I know helping others makes you feel good, but you are interfering with their growth process. Give them room to grow on their own, and trust me, they will find God if they are really pursuing their purpose.
