It's hard to be a good Samaritan

i guess this has been quite a crazy week, dealing with the mental stress of the phobic of intensive call to availability...

but it's hard to ignore God's command of "Love your neighbour as yourself", I mean she can't help it either.

So, my analogy of, helping someone to get up when they fall, but not holding them till they don't have the backbone to get up themselves would very well apply here.

I think, this very much needs God's compassion, strength and wisdom to help..

After all, if you don't wanna help yourself, no one else can really help..

But prayers, is the most wonderful way. I sense the spiritual realm moving, she's learning not to over-depend, she's trying to do something to help herself (well even in a small small way) and even willing to accept our invitations to seek divine intervention.

I think that one should NEVER let ANYone or ANYthing evolve around one's life. Come on, you need a balance: of work, of friends, of family, of relationship, of your own personal growth, time, hobbies, of ministry.

You can't neglect any area, you can emphasize more on a certain area but NOT have it be the SOLE focus.

Put Jesus in the centre of all and He will make them right.

God, I pray for this child of yours. That you will guide her through the most difficult period of her life. Lord, I've been through, I honestly know that only You can heal and only You can give us the best solution and promises that anyone could ever give us.
May your presence and love pour upon her so that she will know that You should be the focus of her life, not anyone or anything else. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
