Mike if we are strong in our relationship with Christ then we will be strong in love. Love is by far the most powerful force there is. Jesus hung on the cross out of love and when anyone else would have been consumed with hate He simply replied " Father forgive them, they know not what they do". That my friend is strength and it is this very strength the Holy Spirit imparts to us.

I must say at times it can get to me.. the helping and not being appreciated.. but I really do try to remind myself what would Christ do?
It does get to a point where we can try and strengthen the others.. but is there not a saying as well- one must help themselves as well. hmmm..

Thanks for a great reminder
