So I'm sitting here with a friend watching the news. It was the story about a tornado hitting Joplin, MO and destroying several buildings last year, including the local high school. One lady being interviewed made such a powerful statement: "The more you help others, the faster you heal."
Think about that for just a moment. Have you ever found yourself going through something, and you were seemingly put in a position or positions to help someone else? I've actually been there several times! I had received some horrible news a few years ago...a personal situation in my family. And it seems that shortly after receiving that news, I was called on to minister at a women's conference. And even in my continuous going through, my GIFTS continue to make room for me, and I've seen healing AND deliverance take place in my life....QUICKLY!!!
No matter what situation I'm in, God seems to impress it upon me to be of help to someone else. It may not always be in a tangible way; it may be a hug or a phone call or even just a smile. So I wanted to take a quick moment to post this -
While you're going through or dealing with something, don't be so closed in. And don't even for a moment think that it's just you. Or you've got it so bad! You never know when you're entertaining angels unaware. You never know if you're properly positioned to help someone else get THEIR breakthrough! I'm not sharing what someone has told me; I'm sharing what I know for myself! God truly does have a sense of humor! I've watched myself go through something only to have someone else be placed in my life for me to minister to them about it...that VERY SAME THING!
Go through...hold on...your healing will come quicker when you take a moment to take the focus off of you and place it on someone else - even if it's just for a moment. Try it for yourself.
Be blessed and encouraged,
