A new year brings new opportunities to help others. As we know, helping others adds more stress, along with being drained physically, emotionally and mentally. So how do you plan to handle the stress?
Paul, in 2 Corinthians 1 wrote about our God, the Father of compassion and comfort, gives us comfort in all of our troubles so we can comfort others. We see that happen in our personal life, then in our counseling office with the people He sends to us.
Receiving comfort, strength and wisdom from our heavenly Father becomes a daily necessity for us in light of imparting the same to others. How is your seeking and being filled going for you this new year?
Consider a popular acronym used to set goals and objectives to meet those goals as one strategy to replenish your self this year.
