More money, more time, and more other resources won\u2019t heal wounded hearts. They won\u2019t bring loved ones back. Only Jesus can truly meet people where they are. Only he can heal their hearts and lead them into a better future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even Jesus didn\u2019t aimlessly help everyone, but he had a clear focus on who needed his help. When the Canaanite woman approached him with the request to heal her daughter, he even ignored her at first (Matthew 15:21-28).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He answered, \u201cI was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.\u201d<\/em> Matthew 15:24<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jesus knew his calling: He was sent to the people of Israel. Jesus was focused on his mission but didn\u2019t insist on it. The Canaanite woman tried to convince him to heal her daughter until Jesus gave in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then Jesus said to her, \u201cWoman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.\u201d And her daughter was healed at that moment.<\/em> Matthew 15:28<\/p>\n\n\n\n The key is to do what God is calling us to do: Where to serve, where to help, and where to give. But at the same time, we should be open to some surprises along the road. If some other things come up where we feel led to help, let\u2019s go for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We can\u2019t do everything, but we must do something<\/strong>. It\u2019s not okay to sit back comfortably and watch other people suffer. But it also doesn\u2019t do any good if we try to help everyone and burn out in the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The best thing we can do is to get in position and do as the Holy Spirit tells us to do. Let\u2019s sit in God\u2019s presence daily and wait expectantly for Him to lead us. He will show us how to use our gifts to help others without burning out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can pray about the hurt and need we see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We can use the resources available to us right now to help others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We can give where we feel led to give and help where we feel led to help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We can take daily steps in the right direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Having the humility to say this is necessary: \u2018Jesus, you are the savior, I\u2019m not. I do as I can, and I rely on him for everything else.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Staying flexible in our walk with God and letting him lead us while following the main mission he put in our hearts is the key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 10 prayers for godly friendships<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n How to be single<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n God is not always speaking<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2b50\ufe0f Do you want to grow in your faith?<\/strong> Join my Psalms Bible Study<\/a> to get to know God more and bring your prayer life to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2b50\ufe0f Do you want to know how to study the Bible for yourself?<\/strong> Get my free 19-page-long Bible Study Basics Guide<\/a> by subscribing to my newsletter down below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2b50\ufe0f Follow me on Instagram<\/a> for daily encouragement. <\/p>\nShare This:<\/strong> Sometimes the injustice of this world overwhelms me: Children are starving, people are dying of illnesses, violence rules in different parts of the world, etc. There are times when it brings me to tears to see how people are treated.
