Help Me
Recently a friend asked me to hold them accountable for something in their life. They said I should be able to do this on my own but it has become obvious that I can’t so I need someone to help apply some pressure and hold me accountable.
His request made me think several things. First I am so thankful that our friendship is deep enough that he felt comfortable being so transperent. It encourages me to trust my friends with some of my struggles.
I realized that his struggle is not unusual. I think most if not all of us have something in our life that we struggle with. We know what we should do and maybe even want to do the right thing but we struggle. If that’s you…you are not unusual or alone.
We could all use some help. We need someone to help apply some pressure and lovingly hold us accountable. We need someone to ask us some tough questions or call us on the carpet if we’re dropping the ball.
The goal in our lives should be to grow in our likeness to Jesus. No one ever suggested that is something we do all by ourselves. We need other people in our lives who help to shape us and mold us. We need people who God uses to help sand the rough edges away.
Where do you need some pressure in your life and who are you trusting to apply that pressure?
Just some thoughts,
Jeff.
