 "Too Important?" 

"If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important."
Galatians 6:3 

Sometimes the Word of God is very clear. The context of this is Paul exhorting believers when they see other believers straying or getting into bad habits to "gently and humbly" help them back into His will. He warns them not to dwell on sin or get caught up in it. The focus is on the move back not on the straying. And he reminds us to keep on the ministry we are called to, help others but not dwell in their business or compare ourselves to others. Our standard is Christ, not others in the church.

And remember we are not too important or above sharing each other's burdens and lending a helping hand.

Feeling humbled,
