Just a while ago, I was taking with my older son about one
bad grade that he obtains in one science project at school. I was explaining
him that those type of projects are for help students improve their grades not
to affect them how was in his case. I was mad, because he could have an A in
his final grade for that class, but because that project, he end up with a B. I
was asking him why he did not ask me for help, and he responds me that he did
not need help. I tell him that if he did not need my help, he would not end up
with the bad grade. I explain him that my background is in science that I could
be a good help for him to have a good grade. I also explain him that even
though I am in college, I always look for help for my projects, even though
sometimes I think I don’t need it. Two or three heads think better than just
one. I ask him that next time he have a project for school no matter if he
knows what he have to do or not, he have to ask me for help even if is just too
see how looks.
In the same week a friend of mine was having a surgery, and
I was telling her about cooking and helping out with other mutual friends to
help her around the house. She just says that she doesn’t want bother other
people and that she does not need help, Really??? I told her that I do believe
that she really needs all the help she can get.
We constantly are praying to God for help, and when He sends
us the Help, we refuse it, contradictory right? Later on I was reading a
devotional book about Jesus calling, and one of the days of that week it say
“let me bless you with My grace and Peace” God is telling us let Him be with us
let Him help us, and still we struggle to let Him work in our lives. Before my
divorce, I never ask for help, because shame, pride, or what ever excuse I had.
Today, if I need help, I reach out for help and ask God to help me to overcome
whatever struggle I am going trough. The important thing here is recognized and
chooses the right help, the one that would not harm us or to the people around us.
Psalm 119:170-173
170 Let my request for grace come before you; deliver me
according to your promise!
171 Let my lips overflow with praise because you’ve taught me your statutes.
172 Let my tongue declare your word, because all your commandments are righteous.
173 Let your power help me because I have chosen your precepts.
171 Let my lips overflow with praise because you’ve taught me your statutes.
172 Let my tongue declare your word, because all your commandments are righteous.
173 Let your power help me because I have chosen your precepts.
Big Hug,
MRM
