One of the best ways to secure your recovery is to help others to secure theirs. May we be like the psalmist who promised God, “Then will I teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you” (Psalm 51:13).
When we encourage others in their recovery, and they respond, God awaits, full of mercy and grace. Billy Graham said it like this: “The wonderful news is that our Lord is a God of mercy, and he responds to repentance.”
You wouldn’t be where you are on your own journey if someone had not come alongside you and offered their encouragement and wisdom. You know someone who is waiting for you to do the same thing for them. Don’t hesitate. You don’t really even need to pray about it. If you see someone in need, respond to them while you can.
Recovery Step: Don’t ask God if you should help someone in their recovery. Ask God who to help, how to help, and how soon to get started.
