I find here in Briercrest a lot of people love to be in a teaching position. weather in an encouraging position or even helping someone out in a difficult position. We sometimes subconsiously think I am more spiritual well off and if someone has a problem I can help. There nothing wrong with helping someone but can there be a problem with an attitude think were better then someone on a spiritual level all the time. I was challenge on this as I was trying to help my friend out. And though i think I am more mature in my faith I think I push to much in trying to help. To the point my friend didn't want my help. Humble by this experience, I wonder, do i just help people to make my self feel good about my self? In 1 Tim 1:-5-7 it says:
The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
Many of us wants to be teachers, but we forgot where our wisdom comes from. It does not come from us but actually from the spirit who enables us to read and understand scripture and affect our lives to learn. So when we I help someone in need I need to remember it not me that I can help then but by the spirit. I desire to Love other and care for those in need but i am reminded this love comes from God.
