What are you hiding behind?

 

One of the fun things about doing the blog is being able to use my pictures!

 

I have often wondered if I am fooling anyone when I am going through a difficult place.  Do I put on a disguise?  Do they realize the struggle or are they being polite and giving me my space?  It is difficult to help someone when they are afraid of the help or don't see the need for the help or just figure they can do it all themselves.

 

The wonderful thing about being a Christian is the participation of the Holy Spirit in our lives.  He gives us wisdom and discernment for ourselves and those we love.  He clarifies to our minds just where we are and what is needed to proceed to a bright and successful future.

 

My faith in Christ says He won't leave me nor will He forsake me.  That means He is there when I am a willing participant in our relationship.  It also means He is close by when I put on a pair of rose colored glasses or a big bow.  His love knows me.  He sees me. 

 

Do you know the beauty of that?  He knows you, also.  He sees where you are.  It is not easy letting someone into the situation.  But, it is necessary.  There are those who willingly will stand beside us to make the difficult places more bearable. 

 

When someone reaches out to your need, grab that hand and hold on!  (Read Psalm 23 today.)
