The best thing a person can do for others is to first make sure that they themselves are wholly healthy.
People choose to be angry.
People are responsible for their own emotions.
In those moments it is my job, not to make them better, but instead illustrate how I trust God.
Yes, I may have to say no to others, I may have to draw the line and refuse to help someone. But taking care of people is not my job.
Loving God is my job, and if taking care of people is a byproduct of that love.
Then praise the Lord!
Until I can love God, I can’t love people.
But I know that that love for God will produce a health that is overflowing.
"You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.”
Matthew 7:5
