Fall reflects a change of the seasons Reaping and Sowing. Fall is a time of Harvest.
“Here’s my point. A stingy sower will reap a meager harvest, but the one who sows from a generous spirit will reap an abundant harvest.”
2 Corinthians 9:6 TPT
I recently posted on Facebook about falling by Michael Todd and will include the Link here as well ( https://www.tiktok.com/@iammiketodd/video/7277941932133797162). We are all going to fall how far we fall and how much pain it causes is determined by what ? You guessed it, Community.
“If you fall, your friend can help you up. But if you fall without having a friend nearby, you are really in trouble.”
Ecclesiastes 4:10 CEV
Our Support network is probably more important than we will ever know. Our Community will be there to catch us during the fall and guide us down to the floor safely. How do you know how far you will fall in the season? Do you have a Strong Community? Can they take care of themselves and then guide you down ? Or Would they turn their back and let you fall ? Are they concerned someone will be there when they fall or are they more concerned with you not hitting the floor ? How are they going to catch you if no was there to catch them and they are now on the ground ? Can they crawl to help you and not attempt to get themselves back up ? If they crawl to you and can’t get themselves up will it be effective?
So Fall is time of year and change of seasons but could also be a change of seasons while starting to fall or during the fall ?
Do you have a Support Network (Community) to be there with you through the changes of the seasons? If you don’t, how can you take the first step to getting the support you need to support you when you fall? You might say I don’t need anyone to support me I am fine by myself and strong enough. Really? We all get weak in the knees at times. Would it not be best to open and maintain the support needed when your knees get weak? Is your Community just waiting for you to fall and get you up or are they watching the potential fall occurring and possibly able to prevent it all together. Can a Community see a potential fall occurring that we may not be able to? We are all going to Fall and hit how far will you ? Well the night is wrapping up have a great remainder of your Labor Day. Love you all , Love each other. Don’t fall or at least decrease the damage make the call.
