As I try to live my life following the Savior's example, I find myself asking, "What would Jesus do in this situation?"
In certain instances, I am able to confidently say, "He would do this!" and then I go about doing what He would do.
However, there are instances that, although I would say, "He would love and help this person," I find myself cutting ties with the individual because, after giving my all, I find myself like an empty bucket with nothing more to give. I cannot help unless I replenish my own bucket. And what I have to give to this person, is not enough and not the right kind of assistance, because this person needs professional help.
Should I feel guilty for not reaching out to this person? I admit that I do have twinges of guilt that gnaw at me. However, I have to remind myself that I have given all the help I can give and that I can still keep this person in my prayers. And that, my friend, will need to suffice.
We are asked to do our best. Once we do that, He will do the rest.
