Recognizing a need in someone's life can be one of the greatest invitations from God you will ever experience. If we are not careful we can easily spend more time analyzing the problems of others rather being a solution to them. It's easy to become overwhelmed by the issues of others as we become aware of more needs but rather than looking at each new problem as a drain on our time, energy, and resources, we need to ask God why He placed us near this situation. We need His Spirit to help us see beyond the obvious needs of others to the things He wants to accomplish in their lives. The big picture of us being blessed with financial stability, safe and healthy families, and freedom from our sinful habits is in relation to Him knowing such a setting for His people will be conducive to ministering to others. He comfort's us in time of sorrow and expects us to comfort others. Galatians 6:2 says, " Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." Self must die daily for us to begin to please God. Blessings, Dave
