What a good thing it would be were we to give something in return:

1.) to volunteer services to make their load easier.

2.) to not lean on them but upon God.

3.) to only ask for help when we can't find resolve.

4.) and, to try to become more like expectations we have for our leaders.

Perhaps, then, we could begin impacting our world for Christ while allowing our leaders same privileges we have ... to have a family and a life.

"Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall," (Pr. 16:18).

Once we realize full impact of it happening to us, not forgetting our beginning, we're more than willing to put ourselves in another's shoes, we're happy not to find offense (Ps 119:165) in their weakness (like we don't have any), meekness is no longer a chore, and we welcome restoring than as Jesus would've done (Ga. 6:2), as we hope someone would do for us (Mt. 7:12).

Caring more for their works than needs of their soul isn't what Apostle Paul was about (2 Co. 12:14). Reverting to legalism makes us transgressor and frustrates God (Ga. 2:18,21).

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatever a man soweth that shall he also reap." So, choose to reap best (Ga. 6:8, 16) ... or you might be next.

God takes it very personal how we treat His children. © by Joyce C. Lock http://our.homewithgod.com/heavenlyinspirations/ This writing may be used in its entirety, with credits in tact, for non-profit ministering purposes.
