Ephesians 4:2 (NKJV) 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It’s so easy to get upset with someone when they make the same\u00a0mistake over and over again.<\/p>\n

We tend to forget about all the mistakes\u00a0that we have made in the past.\u00a0Why is it so easy to see others’ faults, but not pay attention to our own? When it comes to our own mistakes, we tend to brush them off like they’re no big deal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This past\u00a0year\u00a0was a year of\u00a0helping struggling people.\u00a0It\u00a0seemed like everywhere we looked, or everywhere we went, there were struggling people. One right after another.<\/p>\n

Most of the struggling we saw in this particular season was\u00a0with addictions and substance abuse, causing very major health\u00a0issues for those people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We truly wanted to help each one of them as much as we\u00a0could. But, sometimes we found ourselves struggling, trying to keep up with it all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We learned that no matter what kind of expression people have\u00a0on their face, deep down they could be struggling in the worst way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The question we\u00a0had to ask ourselves\u00a0is, “are we\u00a0going to spend time judging them for their struggle or are we\u00a0going to help them through it and bear it with them, in love?”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As hard as it is, sometimes we\u00a0want to sit down and really have a heart to heart talk with them\u00a0and explain why they are going through the same thing\u00a0over and over again. But one thing we have learned is that they may not be ready to hear it and doing that can push them away from us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Most times struggling people just need a friend they can trust, someone who really loves them. And, in time, God may open the door to share His words with them that may make a difference in\u00a0their\u00a0lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But first things first; it takes\u00a0“bearing in\u00a0love with one another” before anything else can happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
