Are you Helping or Enabling??

Helping VS Enabling

Helping- is to give or provide for someone who can't help themselves.

Helping can be considered an act of kindness, but overdoing it can backfire.

Enabling- is to continue to help someone who should be doing it for
themselves. The person is receiving help instead of facing the
consequences and being held accountable, so they continue with this
behavior.

This is actually harmful not helpful- people tend to do this out of guilt,
pity, or shame. When they should be helping them find a solution. It can
actually, make the situation worse. Are you helping them make positive
changes, or making it worse, by keeping them stuck and then they
continue. You are actually keeping an unhealthy connection between you
both, called codependency. You are not a helper, you are an enabler. 

True help comes from inspiring them to be the best they can be!

Setting Healthy Boundaries lets people know what you will and will not
tolerate.

If you continue to keep rescuing them they grow weaker and become
dependent on you to bail them out. Instead teach them on how to handle
the situation. You can create a stronger impact on their life by teaching 
them on how to help themselves.

Sometimes we make excuses for them, but that only gives room for more
toxic behavior. They have to face the consequences or they will never learn.

Encourage them by helping them find the right resources, so they can
learn to help themselves. 

Jesus was not an enabler, he let people have free will, he never imposed,
even if they went away empty handed.

Sometimes God is working something out in their life, if we enable we
are interfering with God's plan.

Yes we should help others, but it shouldn't be a continuous thing.
Help once and teach them how.

Learn to help but not enable!

We are to help those who can't help themselves, but if they are able, 
we should encourage them to do so!

Romans 14:12 
So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God

Galatians 6:5 
For each one will bear his own load.

Our Purpose as Christians and Spiritual Gifts

What is your true purpose according to the Bible?

God created us on purpose for a purpose!

In Matthew 22:36-40

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.

Our  purpose as a Christian is to love God and have a relationship
with him, tell others about him and show love to others the way
God loves us, so they can come to know Christ.

As Christians we are given a Spiritual
gift or gifts! 

God uniquely gave them out to each of us, none is greater or lesser,
we are to find our gift or gifts and use them. Pray and ask God to
reveal to you what your gift or gifts are.

Romans 12 3-8

For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among
you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to
think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. 
For as we have many members in one body, but all the members
do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in
Christ, and individually members of one another.
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us
let us use them: if prophecy in proportion to our faith: or ministry, let
us use it in ministering, he who teaches, in teaching, he who exhorts,
in exhortation, he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with
diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

Gifts:                      

Prophesy

We are not who others say we are, We are who God says we are!

 

Sometimes in this life we struggle with how we look.
We tend to focus on our flaws, instead of seeing who
we really are. 

Society today tells us to look a certain way!

But the Bible holds the truth!

We are not who someone says we are,
We are not someone's opinion of us,
We are not who society says we are, or
how we should look!

We are all beautiful and unique in our own way, we are
made in the image of God.

Here is what the Bible says:

Psalm 139:14 

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Ephesians 2:10 
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

1 Samuel 16:7 
For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.

Genesis 1:26-27 
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
