Many people say, “God helps those who help themselves.” It sounds right, but it’s not something God actually said.
If that were true, grace wouldn’t be grace anymore. The weak, the broken, and the weary would be left behind—yet these are the very people God draws close to.
God doesn’t respond to our strength or self-sufficiency. He responds to humility. He moves because of mercy.
Jesus didn’t come for those who thought they had everything together. He came for those who knew they needed Him.
So let’s be careful not to measure people by what they can do on their own. God never did. Let us reflect His heart—to help, to lift, and to show compassion, just as He first showed compassion to us.
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
Amen
