Being Lifted Up

Being a Christian the first one to lift me up each morning is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The next best thing is being lifted up by my brothers in the Lord along with family and friends.

The important thing is that we all need to be lifted up by others. Life is not an easy thing to get through. We all have times when life goes through smooth sailing however we have the times where we go through rough seas as well. The key is how do we handle things when the seas are rough in our lives and who are their when we do.

Children especially need others even beyond their parents to make it. They need to be encouraged by other children and adults. We hear all the time about teenagers who commit suicide because they feel hopeless and then is bullying which is now at a high so because of social media. Often it is hard to keep a secret these days and who to know to trust. Having a trusted friend is like a gold mine worth more than anything. It is important that we never forget our friends especially those who will be there for us no matter the situation.

So when you are doing well reach out to those who are not doing as well. Actually you should do that even when you are not doing as well either because we can lift ourselves up in this manner by taking the focus off of us.

Regardless of what is happening with us there is always someone we probably know that is worse off than we are. We can all use a brother or sister who understands where we are living right now. So when you go to bed and then when you wake up from a good sleep ask the Father in heaven to give you strength to make it through the day and bring someone in your path that can use the strength as well. Amen!
