What does this all mean for those of us who wish to serve others? Only that we must do so in a loving and supportive way that does not interfere with the other person's own spiritual growth and development. We can encourage them, rather than enable them; support them, rather than hold them up altogether; walk beside them when they are weak, rather than carry them; inspire them to throw off the bushel that hides their light, rather than throw it off for them (they'll just run for cover back underneath it the moment we are not around!).

God truly does help those who help themselves, for we are all co-creators with the Divine and when we realize this, there are no limits to what we can be, do or have. We are human microcosms of the Greater Cosmic One. When we are fully aligned with Spirit and living from that state of Oneness, we become powerful examples of joy to all we come in contact with. Perhaps that alone is the best way we can truly help another; by being the best WE can be, and shining the brightest light WE can shine, knowing that the love we have inside us radiates outward and inspires everyone around us.

By being a living example of God expressing fully, we can inspire those we come in contact with to open themselves up to that very same expression, that very same joy. Then and only then will the change be permanent, and the healing be perfect. Then and only then will they have learned to help themselves... to God.
