In case you’re ever interested in being a help or encouragement to someone, the first question to ask yourself is, “How can I help?”
The answer to that question lies within yourself.
What are your needs? What are your inadequacies? What encourages you? When do you need encouragement most? When do you need the care of others?
People are people.
When you can recognize the need in your own life, you will be able to recognize the need in others.
They will be the same.
