Handy Man
Why is it so difficult for someone to take my advice? If I know the truth, then why don’t they hear? I desire to help them so their life can be fixed. And how do I know the appropriate things to say to them?
Giving advice is all based on one’s own private experiences. Even the Spiritual Journey may differ because of individual belief systems and internal thoughts and prejudices. That is what drives behavior.
God has already determined who and what our assignments are. Certain people will be able to hear you, others not. The person you want to hear you may be another person’s assignment, even though they are a family member, close friend, or a coworker. This is what is meant by trespassing.
Be sure to ask specifically what your responsibility is. God would not want us to force our own experiences onto another person. Taking that position can cause a person to shut down and never want to hear again. Learn to know the character and the nature of God. He is love and never acts outside that. The Spirit is the one who knows how to help each person, so develop the sense to hear him. When there is no current assignment, continue your walk with God and develop the Christ-nature in you.
