Helping Others Through Trials

When we are besieged and under attack within the trials of our life, the natural activity is to not do anything or to pull back into a protective mode. Certainly, the last thing we want to do when we are under attack is to reach out to help someone else. When we are undergoing great trials, the first thing our instincts tell us to do is to get others to reach out to help us. Yet in our faith and our trust in God, we must go against our instincts and reach out to help others rather than having them reach out to help us. When we are wounded, according to God's supernatural laws and ways, we are to reach out to heal others with no thought about our pain. How can we do this? We can reach out to help others in our trials with no thought for ourselves only with supernatural help. In the eyes of God and the will of God, we are to always go against our human instincts and reach out to others in our trials. We are to reach out to help others in our trials because when we reach out to help others in our tragedy and trauma, great and mighty supernatural things happen for others and us. We can only do what is truly unnatural with supernatural help. When we reach out to help others in our trials, then blessings will flow. The blessings will flow but not always as we want or when we want. Sometimes the blessings may not flow at all in our lifetime. However, the blessings will surely flow when we get to heaven. In Heaven, we are immersed in our Lord's healing stream of love and grace.
