wLL81 YouTube Podcast “Accept HIS Help”
Do you struggle and simply can’t accept help when offered? Listen as Erin explains how ministering to her sister, who needed up with an upcoming surgery looming, how to accept help knowing it was from her Husband, ministered to Erin, who has always had trouble accepting help.
Erin thank you for this lesson. It made me think of when I at times did not want help either when I would go through some of my health issues. I remember thinking i did not want people to feel like they needed to do something for me because they felt sorry for me. Instead, I should have looked at it as my Beloved sending me help from Him. I am learning to accept help when it is offered and just be thankful.
You also brought something else to mind when you mentioned about the Uber driver. The other day it was really cold outside and the wind was blowing so hard. I needed to pump gas in my car so I stopped at a convenience store. A kind gentleman came over and asked if I wanted him to pump my gas because it was too cold outside for me to be standing out there. He was not over bearing and he seemed very genuine in just wanting to help me but I kindly said no thank you. Maybe it was my Husband sending me help so I could stay warm in the car 🤔 hmmm something I need to ask Him about too because I’m still working on accepting help and gifts and other things He probably wants to bless me with. ❤️
Yes, it is difficult to ask or accept help when we are not fully aware of WHO is behind that help. Once we do, then WOW you really begin to reap the BENEFITS of being His bride, which only means we can’t help but smile, talk about Him and GLOW… thus attracting MORE brides who will want and deserve HIM and this kind of Abundant Life and LOVE!
Thank you Erin, this is something I still struggle with, I was too proud to ask for help, always thinking that it is shameful to ask for help in anything. But my journey really humbled me and taught me to accept help. When somebody wanted to give me money (Especially at the start of my journey), I really struggled to accept the help. But my Husband also showed me that I am robbing them of a blessing if I reject it and He placed it in their hearts to help. And my pride is a HUGE sin. And it is becoming easier to ask for help, if something goes wrong at home, like a leaking tap, I always first ask my Husband and He either guides me in fixing it myself, or leads me to the correct person to ask for help. And if it is somebody He leads me to ask, then the price are very affordable! And it is becoming easier to accept help or gifts!
EXACTLY by not accepting it’s “robbing” someone else from that blessing and rejecting HIM too. Most of you remember Aunt Melanie from https://hopeatlast.com/movec1/d26-sowing-reaping/ and it was this wise woman who taught me that… when she wanted to give or do something for me and my children too, she loving asked me not to “rob her” of a blessing.
Thank you for the podcast dear Erin. This lets me think back when my twin sister would take out money and give it to me and I would say I really can’t take it (although I needed it) and my sister would then reply that I must stop taking her blessing away.
It also let me think now of Adina and Yvonne, while still learning and then struggling after a while, my HH would lead me to ask Adina or Yvonne for help and today I said there is a big blessing for them, because they are so patiently with me and I know it is my loving HH that brought this loving Ministry with all the loving ladies into my life and I give Him all the honor and praise.
This was such a struggle for me and for so many years but He made me free when I read in RMI the Living lessons about Blessings and I remember how he taught me to start accepting his gifts by thinking about Him and not the person who He was touching to give me the things/ gifts.
My HH also showed me how painful it is when I want to give something to someone and the person does not want to accept it as I used to do, because I know that feeling I try to avoid to do it and I know He wants to bless me, to spoil me, to love me.
Getting help as Erin says is not that easy but we need to continue keeping in mind that the help comes from Him through a human being.
It’s so true l feel so uncomfortable accepting help and like Adina said l think that is pride. I know how good l feel when l bless someone so l need to remember to not withhold that feeling from someone who wants to bless me. And l need to remember where the blessing is coming from.
That includes our Husband. Yesterday and then this morning, my Husband proposed something He wanted to give me, something I am sure I don’t NEED however…
So it might be something I share later on… to be continued…
