We all want to be helpful and we are called to encourage one another and build each other up. (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
But sometimes the best we can do is leave them to their own devices.
Today we're sharing 5 signs it's time to let someone "sink or swim"!
Questions to ask yourself if you are wondering if it’s time to throw the life vest and swim to shore alone.
1. Do you care about helping the person more than they want help?
2. Have you set boundaries or put “next steps” in place that the recipient isn’t following through on?
3. Is your help actually changing/helping the situation?
4. Are you exhausting all of YOUR resource(s) (time, energy, money, emotional health, etc.) in the process of helping?
5. Is the main reason you are helping because you feel guilty or are being manipulated into it?
