At times when you see someone going through a circumstance
the best way to show them that you care is to let them go through their
situation alone. It’s when they are alone that change will have complete
liberty to take place.
They will be forced to recognize themselves for who they
really are.
Sometimes, if we aren't careful, our intention to make someone feel
good about who they are can be like a sheet that blocks them from seeing their
true self. If they can’t see their true nature they won’t see what needs to be changed.
Similarly they can gain a perspective on who they desire to be.
It
is the human condition to want to help another but there are times when we put so
much importance onto our own influence on someone that we forget to allow God
to provide the purpose and stability that they so desperately need.
