Do you hate asking for help? (If the answer was yes, don’t worry, me too.)
From the time we are small toddlers, we learn somewhere to say “I can do it myself!” We keep going, too, letting ourselves be totally worn down and exhausted because we were too proud to ask anyone to assist or take some of the load off.
When it comes to salvation, however, there’s no chance at getting by on your own. Without the Lord’s grace and dying on the cross, we can’t have salvation. Period. Some are so stubborn that they still can’t accept this help. If we can learn to get help from the Savior of the nations on something this big, do you think we can learn to ask for help on other things? God blessed us with family, friends, coworkers, and others to share the burdens of this life.
And here’s the other catch – don’t wait until your friend asks you. Offer the help, and don’t take no for an answer. Lift each other up, and thank God for His redeeming love.
“For by grace you have been saved by faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8
