"Do you help others the way you’ve been helped?"

Cilck here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

Have you noticed that you’ll have a challenge or problem or opportunity in your life? And it can be pretty difficult to conquer, but then you ask God for help and get it? So you with God’s help overcome that situation. Then God sends you someone who’s struggling with the same problem?

For instance, let’s say your job is eliminated. You struggle for a while, but you find another job. Then all of a sudden, a friend calls to tell you he’s lost his job. You’re able to help him get through it.

Or, your parent becomes ill and can no longer live alone. You help her find a nursing facility, but it’s a long and arduous process of transition. You make it through the situation. And then you see a friend in the grocery store going through the same problem. You’re able to pass along some tips of the process.

I have a friend who has this saying posted on her office message board, “God helps us in all our troubles, so that we are able to help others who have all kinds of troubles, using the same help that we ourselves have received from God.”
