We encounter many different people and many different situations in the course of a day and throughout our lives. Each time we are faced with a different situation, we can choose to be a stumbling block that causes others to trip or a step up that helps others through a struggle. We need to make up our mind to help, to be a step up and over the challenges in life!
When we think about removing stumbling blocks, we need to turn to God. It is through God's love that we can experience forgiveness and redemption. We then need to show this love by not passing judgment and tripping up others. We can offer our support, whether it be through our time, talents, or resources. We can take the time to build relationships that can lead to positive change in our lives and the lives of others. Instead of being stumbling blocks, we can be the step up and the supports that grow God's Kingdom!
Draw on God's love and choose to be a step up that helps others through their challenges!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being the "step up" and the support that helps me through life. Help me to show Your love and to help others see Your glory. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
