 Douglas Ray says, love never fails. If so, how do we know when to walk away? How can we tell the difference between someone who was only struggling with sin and someone committed to evil and won't admit it? That's a good question. That's a good question. I've dealt with that. I deal with that. Let me just give you guys some good advice. This isn't mine. This is what I had to learn on my own. You can't save everybody. You can't help everybody. Everybody will not be safe. Everybody will not be helped. There will be some people that are just hell-bit pun intended to just be destructive. But there are some also, though, who are going to need to have a serious falling. You can love them, but just make sure that you get out of the way. For example, you have a person who is destructive in their personality and their nature. And your tendency, let's say if it's a loved one, your tendency might be to help that person out when they need something, you're always there. In addiction circles, you might be an enabler or codependent. You are helping this person to go through their sin. You are helping this person to be the best little sinner they could possibly be, okay? Well, you don't want to do that. Has anyone ever been around someone that got a spanking and then you jumped? I'll never forget this. It was funny, but also hurtful as well. My brother and I, me and Chris, we were getting ready to get a weapon by my mother. Our two older brothers, Johnny and PJ, or PJ and Johnny, our two older brothers jumped in. No, mama, you don't need a weapon. No. And she says, you want some too. So she goes and swinging the belt at us. They jumped in and guess what PJ and Johnny got. They got a weapon. Guess what me and Chris still got it. We still got a weapon. This was back in the day, ladies and gentlemen, where weapon was okay. There still is, by the way, as far as I'm concerned. But when God has determined that that person is going to get what they're going to get, that doesn't mean that because you step in you won't get something either. Have you ever, you've lost some money, you've lost some sleep, you've lost some time, you've lost a lot of things because you're trying to help this person who is against being helped. So what you do is move back and pray, Lord, give me all that I need in me internally to be available to this person when they need, should they need the piece to be picked up. They may not. What's gonna happen is, I don't care who you are. I don't care if you're a Christian or not a Christian. I don't care if they're saved or unsaved. I don't care what they are. As your mother and father told you, you're gonna learn. Oh, you're gonna learn one way or the other. The easy way, the hard way. You have to learn and grow by one or two things, either something within or something without. Something on the inside has to change or something on the outside. You're gonna be made to do so because your insides have changed, your heart has changed or something on the outside is going to, is going to force you to do so. It might be prison. It might be a bullet. It might be a knife. It might be the hospital. It might be financial ruins. It might be your health. It might be a myriad of things or all of those things. If someone is forcing you to change, then you really haven't changed. But now that outward force can be used to cause an inward force. That outward force can be used to do it, kind of shaking you up a little bit. That can happen as well. Don't be the person that stops this person that prolongs this person's struggle, okay? Just be ready because just because it's your child, your mother, your father, your son, your whomever, doesn't mean that they are immune to going through what life is gonna give them. And so when they go to jail, when they go to the hospital, when they lose a limb, when they're now struggling financially, when they're now struggling mentally, emotionally, when they're now struggling physically, you be there to be the godly outlet to help them to encourage them. But you're not gonna play into their sinful lifestyle. You cannot, or else all you're gonna do is help them to stay living in sin and never grow up. Amen.
