Close Enough to Help

Sometimes, I have a ā€œlightbulbā€ moment, and I begin to see things a little more clearly.   Tonight as we were sitting at the table having a sub sandwich and soda, my children and I were talking about church.   My son said, ā€œI donā€™t like that they put so many church services on the television and internet because then people feel like they donā€™t have to go to church.ā€  My daughter, who loves to debate, said, ā€œthey can go to church without getting too close to people.ā€  As my daughter said this, the light bulb kicked on.   How can I help and encourage people if Iā€™m at a distance?  I canā€™t.  Sometimes, at work, in my neighborhood, in my circles I have found that we often fail to get close enough to people to help them.  If I was walking across the road and fell, in order to help me you would need to come to where I was.  You would need to come beside me.  Itā€™s why Christians need to meet with other Christians too....
