Holly Furtick of Elevation Church shares this new message titled “Who’s In Your Corner?” where she teaches that our first response when we hit something hard in life can often be to isolate ourselves and think nobody needs to know. She said we are not meant to go through life alone as God has given us the gift of friendship but it’s our responsibility to let people in. This is an excerpt from her message “Support System”.
She said that while we may not get to choose what we go through in life, we do get to choose who we go through it with. Life is not a game of tennis. If you’re a tennis player, you have to encourage yourself, you have to correct yourself, you have to read your opponent all by yourself and she thinks that this is the mental model that some of us just go through life when something happens to us … something you didn’t expect.
Maybe your child is getting in trouble at school or maybe your marriage is beginning to struggle or maybe you even lost your job and often our immediate response is nobody needs to know. I need to keep this a secret and we fight alone thinking that if I admit that I need help then everybody’s going to think less of me. You’re not meant to be like you are … you are meant to be like a fighter and you know what fighters have? They have a corner.
