I don’t know if any of you will remember but Pastor Keion gave his testimony at the Potter’s House. It was actually when I literally knew he was a LOCK-IN for ME. It was the moment he told the Bishop “Right now I am a liability to you but if you would only stay with me until I become an asset” THAT hit home and it has lived in my house forever!!!!!!!!

family are the first to write you off then is your so-called friends !! The only person That we all have in this world to depend on is God 🙏🏾😇he will make sure our needs are met. God will always send a special angel to help us in need. He was put us in a place where we belong at the right time. God will never leave us or for sake us. It may be hard times, but God will see us through .. Constant need of a prayer works ..we must have faith and those who weren’t there for us in a time of our hardships. They do not belong in our lives now that we got up.

This is the truth….good friend for years, until I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, left me with life threatening seizures, couldn’t work, so I lost my car, possessions, and other things but was told by family members that his suggestion to my children was to leave me and begin a new life. Otherwise they would be burdened by me and not able to create their own lives. But only God.. has slowly healed me and with His grace, we shall recover it all.

When You Have FAITH In Believe In God. He Will Make Away When You Do Not See Away

[@ninalove3265]

You can be a friend or a partner and help someone to get on their feet and you can love this person to death but sometimes people go to far and don't help themselves which they become a burden now. So if I stop, it doesn't mean I'm not your friend it means you need to not depend on me.

[@Coco-og7zw]

Amen Ms. Nina!!! Your comment is so spot on. There’s nothing wrong with helping someone get back on their feet so long as you put guidelines and a timeline around it. Otherwise, that helping can turn into enabling’ and then you’ll have an even bigger problem.

[@ninalove3265]

@Coco-og7zw exactly. I didn't like how he was saying that about friends.

[@Coco-og7zw]

@@ninalove3265 … yeah, I didn’t either. People take advantage of your kindness so you have to put limitations around what you’re doing. My father allowed my brother to come back home after he got divorced and whilst he was home, he was free loading off of my parents, not paying rent, not contributing to any of the bills in the house, but yet, was taking trips to Las Vegas with his buddies, wining and dining chics, shopping and eating at fine restaurants and not giving my dad a dime toward the house. His shenanigans went on for 14+ years. Now my father is gone, my brother is 55 years old and he’s unable to make it out here on his own because the helping turned into enabling. Moral of this story: Sometimes, you have to say NO to helping and allow people to FALL and hit a BRICK WALL cause that’s the ONLY thing that’s going to change their behavior set them on the right path.

[@monicasoyombo3360]

Well THAT'S a true word, right along side Pastor Kieon's. Sometimes to say, its time for you to depend on God, is ALSO having HEART.

[@AJ-jk6ui]

[@jennifergomez5510]

It’s not just friends and family. Life’s circumstances and trials can also show true friends. For example, being diagnosed with a life threatening disease or autoimmune disorder that affects your daily living. A true friend never leaves you to fight your battles alone. Preach!!! ❤🙏🙏

[@WanSmithTV]

You can say that again.. I been so sick that I’m on long term disability and they people that I thought was my friends wasn’t my friends at all.. and to my family members including my real dad always have excuses not to help and some family members to.. but my wife has been there for me more.

[@Que772]

It depends on the situation and what happened. Anyone who has gone through extremely difficult times know that it can take months sometimes years to get back stable. The question becomes are they doing everything in their power to recover. If you're just saying no after once or twice. You have that right, but just know you will receive the same judgement if something ever happens to you.

[@lumedeon8471]

In that case YOU aren’t a real friend

[@NobieFromTx]

This the one!! Idk who needs to hear this either but , if they’re impeding on you , and they’re the ones who are the burden and they continue to run all over you and use you when they need you. They are not a friend. They are simply taking advantage

[@LadyT06]

Hence it’s vital to pray for God to remove any friends who don’t have your best interest at heart.

[@broco6608]

Exactly. That's why I choose my friends very carefully. I don't want friends who barely do anything for themselves and are fools. I need them to be like me in this area - a hustler who does everything possible to avoid asking anyone for anything. That way if I do need to ask, folks will know I really need them. Because they know I hate asking anybody for anything and I have decades to prove that. I only help those who have an extensive track record of doing the best and the most to help themselves.
