Why don't we simply recognize that a person needs help and ask how we can be of service? I think the reason really has little to do with the needs of others and more to do with our state of mind. If you're like me, sometimes you have unrealistic expectations, or you see situations through the narrow perspective of "how things should be." But everyone benefits when you set aside such thoughts and show compassion. --- Kaitlin Quistgaard
Have you ever been faced with the chance to help someone, whether it be mentally, physically or emotionally and let that opportunity slide through your fingers because of unrealistic, square expectations?
It's incredible how God always provides me with opportunities for growth. I've never really thought of myself as a narrow-minded individual but, if I am so naive as to think that things will always be as they "should" be, I most certainly have much to learn on my journey. That's a life-long goal for me:
Never stop learning.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and he shall lift you up.
---James 4:10
