New Life everyday~ Honestly Admitting Our Needs Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him. - Matthew 7:9-11 Are you reluctant to ask for help? Youre definitely not alone. Too many of us are unwilling to admit we need help. We think its a sign of weakness. But its really a sign of pride and self-sufficiency, both which go against the grain of a healthy dependence upon God and the power of His Holy Spirit in our lives. God wants to give you good things. Hes hoping youll humbly admit that you have needs. Dont be afraid to ask others for help. Remember, God made us to relate to one another, to love one another. We werent made to live life alone. If youre the strong one that is always lending a hand and seeing to it that others are taken care of, its hard for you to let someone know you need help, but its important that you do. We need more two way streets in our Christian community. Refusing to ask for help when you need it is refusing someone the chance to be helpful. - Ric Ocasek The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
