Don't turn away from those in need

The second half of the year have many ups and downs and to be frank, I am really overwhelmed. But I thank God that I am able to cast all my concerns and prayers to God.

Think it's human nature to avoid getting involved in problems of others cause we worried that they may take up too much of our time or it might be too heavy for us to bear.

The Lord commands us to love our neighbour. We must not be too worried to be there for others when they want us to help them. Our first instinct should always be to listen to them and commit their concerns and worries to the Lord through prayer. And whether we do something practically or to only offer them support through prayer, the Lord will guide us along the way.

The fear of committing too much or the pressure of helping others is something we should not have because we should never reject someone who is in need. Have we forgotten who saved us in our time of need? Don't be afraid if people want to look for you for help, for we know who is in control.

We will never know if we can fully help them but one thing for sure is every moment we spend with them is a chance to encourage, for fellow believers, to persevere in their faith in Christ or for them, non believers, to come to know our great God.

Simply be a witness and let God take care of the rest.

May the Lord watch over those who are burdened in their life that they may turn to the Lord for help.
