We need people who help push us to become better. |
Who exactly is she? Who exactly is he?
Before I answer that, let me just state that we should have at least one in our lives.
The Pusher.
A Pusher is someone who does just that -- He pushes us to be better and to do better. She is the person who is available anytime we need to talk and who is never bothered by us "bothering" her. In short, Pushers are our cheerleaders, but not the "yes" type of people. It doesn't matter how old or young we are, we need that person who pushes
us out of our comfort zone. Pushers are the wise people God put in our
lives just for us. They tell us what they're thinking about us and our lives and they're not in the business of stroking our egos. They have our best interest in mind at all times and they know we will have to stretch in order to get to the things of God. For, they know there are no natural shortcuts in life. There are only shortcuts created by God.
Pushers stay in tune with God and they seek Him often for direction over people's lives. Paul was such a person. He pushed (encouraged) people and he also gave them a piece of his mind when needed. He did it all in love and the people who listened were blessed as a result.
Do you have a Pusher in your life? If not, why not? If you don't have one, pray to God for one to come into your life. If you have one already, you are ahead of the game.
