Be That SomeoneCarry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Gal. 6:2
Who would you turn to if you suddenly discovered that your unmarried daughter was pregnant and wouldn't listen to you? Or one of your parents became an alcoholic? Or you lost your job through your own foolishness? Or got mixed up in an affair? Or dug yourself into a financial hole and couldn't get out? It's easy to find places to meet, pray, sing and hear sermons from behind big wooden pulpits. Don't misunderstand, attending church is very important. And 'the truth' is the only thing that will set you free (John 8:32). But sometimes what people really need is...a place to cry...a person to care...somebody to bind up their wounds...and a few friends who won't blab it all over the church! Bill Riley leads the Overcomers program at one of Atlanta's largest churches. During the past ten years, they've helped over 15,000 people struggling with addictions. For some, deliverance comes quickly. But most have to 'walk it out' day after day, using principles that date all the way back to John Wesley's prayer groups. Principles like: (1) admitting you're powerless over the problem (2) turning your life and your will over to God (3) practicing rigorous honesty (4) becoming accountable to someone (5) making amends where possible (6) developing your relationship with God (7) carrying the message to others who hurt. When somebody falls, they need two things: (a) a safe place (b) someone to lift them. For God's sake, be that someone!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to be a support person for someone who is need. Let that person see you through me. In Your precious name, Amen
