BE WILLING TO BE VULNERABLE
I don't know who needs to hear this too. I got this message for myself, and I thought it would be kind to share.
Sometimes, you have to be willing to be vulnerable and be helped or favored.
Don't act as if you have it figured out or in control when God raises men to help you. Understand seasons and time
I have always said to myself, 'I am not an element of pity', and God will come through for me. And when He does, I refuse to be vulnerable to people He has orchestrated to help because I do not want them to see me as needy.
I have fought battles someone (or people) should have fought for me. I have run races, and God has orchestrated someone to run for me. I'm busy filling vacuums God had positioned some people to fill for me.
I know screenshots are real, but pray that He helps you discern real burden-bearers. That you will not be busy bearing burdens; He has raised men to bear for you!
Peace

Calling my dad after reading this.
Thoughtful and timely. Thank you.
Saving this for the next leadership retreat.
This is going on the wall in our office.
This belongs in a national newspaper.
Cleanest articulation of this idea I've read.
I felt this in my bones.
This is one of the best things I've read this month.
Where do you find the patience to write so generously?
