You need a support system

April 30, 2022

“Share each other’s burdens.” Gal 6:2 NLT

God created our physical bodies with internal systems that support each other. And it’s the same in our relationships. Everybody needs a support system. Sometimes when others disappoint us, we say, “From now on it’s just going to be God and me!” That’s a big mistake! It’s the sheep who strays from the fold that gets eaten by the wolf. Satan will isolate you in order to destroy you. “A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken” (Ecc 4:12 NLT).

Studies show that people who have caring support live longer, recover from illness faster, and find life more meaningful. Support gives us a sense of connection and acceptance, which are core human needs. It provides an arena in which you can be vulnerable; a place where you can feel safe in saying, “I don’t know,” or “Can you help me,” or “I need a hug.” This is support—God’s way. And if you can’t find it in your own family, turn to the family of God. And one more thought: Don’t forget to express your appreciation to those who support you. Tokens of gratitude go a long way in saying, “I’m grateful for your help.”

Support is not a one-way street: “Share each other’s burdens.” Don’t get so engrossed in your own problems that you forget others have problems too. Take the time to inquire about their concerns. No one likes a taker. It’s in the give-and-take of mutual support that we grow and fulfill our God-given potential in life.
