Are We Supplying People With The Braces and Crutches Of God's Word or Allowing Them To Become Spiritually Wrecked?

Living life alone.   Why do we think that we have to live life alone?   Why do we think that we have to walk this walk by ourselves?   There are moments when you have to separate yourself and strengthen your spiritual muscles.....but God did not leave us alone.    He is ever present and is building a body of believers.    We have to begin to recognize and understand the functions of His body.   We have to begin to help strengthen the other parts of His body.   By praying, encouraging, and helping one another.    We have to help God's body grow to maturity.    When something is in a mature state.....it has become fully developed.    Are we developing God's body?

What would happen if we were to reach out to people today?   If we took the time to pray for people today?   If we gave a word of encouragement today?    What would happen if we supplied people with the braces and crutches of God's word to help them to get to the point where they can walk alone in Him.   Not everyone has become developed enough to walk by themselves.   Even those of us who are mature have points in our lives where we need someone to encourage us, to pray for us, or to help us.   Why is it that we think that people can just do it on their own.   It's like leaving a baby that is just learning to walk and telling him to cross the street by himself.    How many babies have you abandoned?   How many people have you walked away from and allowed them to become spiritually wrecked?

It's time we become the support system that we were meant to be.   It's time to decide if we are only seeking momentary satisfaction from God and His word or if we are in it for the long run.    If we are in it for the long run....there are people that we need to help along the way.    We don't determine how long our assignments are with people.....but they should always know that we are there if they need us. 

Our encouragement, our prayers, our friendship, and our love should never fade away.    There are many seasons and many levels in God.   But God's love abides in every season and it is prevalent on every level.
