Learn your place in people’s lives so that you don’t overplay your role. Even if you’re medicine, nor everyone wants to heal.Even Messiah himself always asked people whether they wanted to get well even when their sickness was obvious. Some people don’t want to heal. They use their situation to hide from life and from responsibility.Many of our disappointments come from assuming that everyone wants better. Yet many people only wish for better, but they don’t want to work for it. It’s futile to try saving someone who won’t take part in their own rescue.Just like you can’t fill a leaking tank, you can not give enough to someone who drains everything away. In your generosity, always consider people’s capacity. In your compassion, always check if you’re still welcome. Once people start avoiding you, give them the space. It’s a double sting to pour your resources into someone only to end up being insulted for it.
