Be Protective

We must be protective of our salvation. Salvation is an individual thing. Just because someone else believes in God it doesn’t mean you will be saved. You have to truly in your heart believe in Jesus Christ. In Gods word it states… “For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭8‬:‭36‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬. God has created an order and balance for everything in life. Sometimes we human beings do too much!! Our intentions are good, but the way we execute things sometimes are erroneous. We can help people, love and lead them closer to God. But if you loose yourself what’s the point. In trying to help others don’t forget about your own help. Your life needs attending as well. Yes, we are called to be selfless and help others. But we are also extremely called to take care of our salvation as well. How are we going to help others if we don’t first help ourselves. If we don’t it would be like the blind leading the blind. You need to be constantly filling yourself up with God. Keep learning and growing so you can help others. It’s a constant cycle, God pouring from his cup into our spirits, the Holy Spirit constantly emptying out all that is not from God. Then it goes around and around. We keep growing, getting closer to God and God is constantly removing all that is not from him. Now in order for others to receive the same thing, we need to constantly be doing that. We can’t pour from an empty cup because then it won’t cause any change.

So I just want to motivate you, in trying to help others. Don’t forget that your plant needs watering as well. You need to focus on growing with God primarily. You help others first by first filling yourself up with the true source. Plus how can you be the example if you aren’t first being the example. Don’t tell people to seek God if you aren’t yourself doing it first. Then we would be hypocrites and false leaders.
