Healthy People Admit That They Need Others

It’s very difficult for some people to come to grips with the reality that we need others.  Some of us have been taught to be strong and self-reliant.  Some of us have been taught this: be careful to always give the impression that you don’t need anyone.  However, mature healthy people realize that, in fact, everyone needs help, support and encouragement sometime.  And they are willing to admit this truth.

Gathering For Worship

There’s a spiritual experience that we can have when we gather with other believers that we cannot have by ourselves.  The gathered-together experience has to do with encouragement, support, speaking into each others lives, and seeing God in others, among other things. I look forward to that shared spiritual experience today, worshiping God with people I love!

Let's Not Isolate Ourselves... Reach Out For Help

Sometimes when we are feeling discouraged and depressed, we have a tendency to withdraw and isolate ourselves.  That’s exactly what we should not do.  It’s in those times, especially, that we need to reach out for the support, help, love, connection and encouragement of others.
