"For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.
" --1 Cor. 3:9



​
Are you someone who loves to rush to help others and give advice? That's a great thing! Just be careful to know the motivation of your own soul. Is it a tactic to avoid your own problems?

God can use every person no matter what is going on their lives. However, we can be the best coworkers with Christ if we accept God's help to address our own spiritual needs and health. Then the problems of other people will feel less like a weight on an overstressed table and more like an opportunity to spread Christ's joy.

Lord, I pray You would bring to mind any suppressed or repressed issue we have cast aside because we are too fearful to deal with it or too proud to accept Your healing. Heal our spiritual wounds, oh Lord, so we may serve You wholeheartedly. In Christ's Name, Amen
