Chambers believes that a "True servant of Jesus Christ is one who is willing to experience martydom for the reality of the gospel of God." For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with the urge to rescue. I was only too williing to see the worth in the darker side of those who only needed my help. Only recently have I learned of the harm this can cause. I could have learned it much earlier in life by paying attention to the backlash of the unwanted assistance I have often forced on those I love. Oh, well. God never gave up on me. Once I began to suffer enough from the rejection I recieved, I began to look for the acceptance I could always trust to be there. It was never me that was needed. I am still learning to be less so that Christ can me more.
The wonderful thing about being a care giver to little children, there is less temptation to have unhealthy boundaries. They are a safe place for me to pour out my love. Thank you, Father for little children.
