When is Enough, Enough?
Sometimes regardless of how hard you try and how much you do to help someone it seems that it’s not enough. You work hard to ensure that you have all of your financial obligations taken care of and you do so well enough that you’re able to assist others with their finances as well.
You have been able to maintain a somewhat normal home, work and spiritual life. But, somehow you still find yourself in a “predicament”.
You may even ask yourself “how did I end up like this again?”
After all; I’ve done all that I was supposed to do and I’ve even helped someone pay their bills, gave away some of my things to help others, fed a family and so many people depend on me and I’m able to be there for them all. The first thing that you have to do is put yourself FIRST! It’s true we’re blessed to bless others. It is better to give than to receive, but we weren’t designed to take God’s place, but to be of and in his image. God gives everyone the ability to do whatever we have to do to get where we need to be. We will need things and at times we will need other people in order to get where we need to be in life.
But, when you have people that depend on you for things to avoid responsibilities, you need to draw the line. The best thing you can give someone is knowledge of how they can do things for themselves. We perish for lack of knowledge, but you can help strengthen them by not allowing yourself to become weak. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t help someone in need. However; that doesn’t mean that you’re obligated to continue to
ENABLE Someone That’s Perfectly CAPABLE..
