2 Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

What sort of things are you willing to face for your best friend? Are you willing to go through hardships just so their life can be better?

Christ calls each of us to live up to the command to love one another, not just as another Christian, but as someone you care about.

Yes, that is hard, but the rewards are many and as we do this, Christ strengthens us from the inside and keeps us going to spread His gospel and His love.

Romans 15:1 We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

The more we read our bibles, study God’s Word, prayer together, worship together and stay together, the stronger we will be to help others.

In order to be the most effective Christians we can, we ought to know more about being a good Christian. Knowing about temptations can help us if we are strong, but may make us weak if we are not ready.

Continue on the path Christ has set before you, listening, learning, wanting more, worshipping and praying; that way we can be there for others when they need it most.

Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

When you see someone fall over, do you just stand there and watch or do you offer a hand? What happens when they fall into a dangerous spot?

Our bibles warn us against trying to be the super hero to those who give in to temptations; yes we want to help, but if we end up giving in to that temptation too then we have failed!

Be strong and courageous, but be sensitive and sensible about it too!

Hebrews 12:13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

Walking a straight line instead of going back and forth is always going to be easier! So why do we choose the longest path possible sometimes?

God would rather we stand up and be counted, walk with pride and keep to His ways to give others goals to aim for rather than go off the rails and bring others down.

You don’t have to be perfect to be a Christian – we are all broken; we have an awesome Saviour who wants to help us walk tall.
