Loving on the level

The author of confusion often uses the ones closest to us to disrupt our routine enough to bring out the worst in us. Being surrounded by so many who are intimately involved in your life does not make this less likely o happen, in fact it is where the corrupter of faith steps in with more agility to defile the sacred things of God. Perhaps you have had this happen to you in your ministry, or know someone who has experienced this in theirs, whatever the situation it is your responsibility to reach out in love trying not to give advice which only adds to the confusion, but to genuinely love and care for the individual who is hurting. The Samaritan bandaged the wounds and showed love...did not become a GPS for the wounded traveler, did not buy him a map with the alternate route highlighted, He showed love without showing superiority that is what the hurting truly need someone who comes to their level to partner with them. Don't be the GPS of the wrong route, the hurting do not need a satellite transmission we need a partner.
