What qualifies us to be a helper?

I was a little bit late in getting my master's diploma from Liberty University, framed and hung in my office, but once I got it framed, there was something very powerful in me that felt like I needed to share and that is this:

I hope this message helps someone who feels the way that I felt at one point in my life. Which was that my past disqualified me from pursuing my dreams.

You see, I worked very hard for this diploma. And I'm very proud of myself for my accomplishments as it relates to not only earning my master's degree but also in the person that I became in the process. My mental, spiritual and professional growth were all catalyzed by going through the process of earning my master's degree.

That said, it is not ONLY my master's degree which qualifies me to help people.

I think we live in a society today where we believe that or we are led to believe that it is our accomplishments, which qualify us to serve people and in some cases, perhaps many cases that may be true.

But what also really qualifies us to help people are the moments that we have had to overcome. Those moments where we felt that we were embarrassed,ashamed,Less than.

Simply put, in the times where we made mistakes.

But you see it is our learning and our growing that occurs from those mistakes, which are just as important the professional or educational qualifications. Those also qualify for us to be a helper to others, for us to be of service to others. And for us to accomplish the goals that we have in our heart.

My invitation to you is this:

Take some time today to reflect on the mistakes that you've made in your life. Some of the ‘not proud’ moments that you've had as a human being.

Identify what you've learned from them, and how you have grown.

Then ask yourself this very important question.

Who else do I know, Or who else can I find, That is going through something very similar to what I've gone through. This may not just be the actual experience of the mistake but it may be the emotion.

Reach out to that person if you know them. If you don’t know anyone, Think about where you can find them.

Pour into them.
Pour belief into them.
Pour love into them.
Pour hope into them.
Be vulnerable. Share a little bit about your journey and show them that just like you, They too can overcome their pain, their traumas, Their mistakes, and go on to serve others. They can Go on to reach their goals.

Sending you all love and light,
