Do You Have a Safety Net?

"Life’s tough times and tragedies are inevitable – each of us will face them. But we don’t need to go through them alone. We need God’s safety net to help hold us up through these difficult times." ~ Rick Warren, "Purpose Driven Life"

So, what is God's "safety net"? My friend Alexander put up this quote from Warren's book, "Purpose Driven Life" on his blog recently. While we always need God walking along with us through our lives, sometimes it also takes other people just to help us stay focused and get through those difficult times. God puts those people in our lives for a reason. A very SPECIAL reason! He works through each of us.

No, when we have those inevitable difficult times, we must not go through them alone. Just remember that if someone you know needs a friend, someone to talk to, even if they are whining, by you being there for them, that whining will eventually be turned around to being encouragement to handle their struggles. YOU could be your friend's safety net, just by being there for them.
