Intentionally Intrusive

It's too late! It is usually too late to help a friend out of a broken marriage or a bad situation by the time we (friends) hear about it. We need preventive measures. I'm not speaking specifically about marriages (that is just an obvious situation). As Christians we will have struggles in life, and we need help from one another (hence the reason for so many "one another" verses in the Bible). If accountability and the "one another" system is to work we need to allow a person or persons to be "intentionally intrusive." We need to allow people to know the real us, and the issues that we battle (secret sins even or our weak spot). ---If we truly want to "get over it" and enjoy God's plan for our lives, we need to allow someone to be intentionally intrusive. ---You need life support, especially if you intend to live the truth. Stop today, and ask God who would be a great "accountability" partner for you. Then, call them. Go see them face to face. Most importantly, tell them the truth about you, and give them permission to ask you the hard questions to keep you on the right path.
