Who had permission to ask you the tough questions? To help you see what you're not seeing?
Who will stand for you when you're under attack and can't stand? Who will help you stand when you can't alone?
Who will guard you weak or vulnerable places from attack?
Those are challenging questions. They've been running through my mind for the last few weeks. I've been wrestling with my answer to them.
The answers may not come easily, but I'm starting to think that the answers do need to come. We need these people in our lives. And we need to be these people for others.
Really, these questions can be summed up in a couple:
Who's got your back?
Who's back have you got?
We have an enemy who is looking for the places he can attack to destroy us. He's looking for the places where we're unprotected, because he knows he has a good chance of getting in those places to defeat and destroy us.
This means we need each other. We all have places we can't see our vulnerability to attack, where we need someone else to com alongside us. We all ahve places where we know our vulnerability, but don't yet know how to protect ourselves, where we need someone to come alongside us.
Who's got your back?
Who's back have you got?
