We who are strong in faith should help the weak with their weaknesses, and not please only ourselves. Let each of us please our neighbors for their good, to help them be stronger in faith. (Romans 15:1-2 NCV)
There are times when we really need to talk to someone that we can share our thoughts freely with without the fear of judgement. When someone trust you with their weaknesses we need to be careful to listen intently so that we can offer well thought out advice rather than rash judgement. We have all had our ups and downs and have made poor choices . So let's not lose sight of where we've been and how we needed reassurance and advice at some point in our lives. Be intentional about sharing your testimony as a reference point of Gods grace. Remember no one want to hear long drawn out lectures instead show compassion and advise how God leads you to and build up those who are growing in their faith .
Love,
