Simple heart supporting your strength and encouragement.  Mine is not the doctrine of direction.  I am in charge of no one, even struggling with my own voice and obedience. It is unlikely that the Lord has sent me into your life to be the boss of you. That being said, sometimes loving you comes with it the difficult reality that I must at times speak up about the things in either of our lives that are inconsistent with God’s Word or perhaps are self defeating or potentially dangerous.  I will not surpass that responsibility nor will I ignore it, for to do so would make me an enabler or a people pleaser, two positions for which there are dire and unpleasant circumstances for your Brother, a man before God.

What is it that God is leading you to do?  Let’s pray about it and once you’ve heard from Him, let me know or perhaps He will let me know the appropriate way to motivate, support and encourage you to its completion.  But do not expect, knowing me especially, that I will just sit back and allow you to ignore God’s calling, ministry or direction.  That would not be the Brother that I sent to be, for we are made for accountability, to each other and to Almighty God.  How could I answer Him back when He asked me why I didn’t request of you an answer to His Will? We are not meant to do this journey alone and that means that we have to learn a consistent, respectful and responsive manner in through which to support, defend and motivate each other.  Sharpening, I believe was the term used in the Word.

I am your greatest fan, your last critic, because you must remember that I adore you.  This is not a game show or talent competition where we struggle with various envies to out do one another.  This is a team in the family sense.  Neither must you be alone in your trials, burdens or tests, nor rejoice alone in your victories or stand there having done the impossible with no one to thank you for your love for God.  But I want what you are determined and guided to give me for that is the Will of God, the God who sent me to get some work done and rejoice in abundance while doing it.  Know this, I love you and thank the Lord for having saved me not just from my sin but from the one thing He called, “not good”, for man to be alone.  Do your thing and if I can help please tell me where and when to apply pressure, support or a comforting word.  In Jesus’ Name.
