Let us learn this lesson of Nehemiah: You never relieve the load, unless you have felt the pressure in your own soul. You will never be used by God to bring blessing, until God has opened your eyes and made things like they are.4
In the teachings of Nehemiah, we find a crucial lesson about empathy and understanding. To truly alleviate the burdens of others, one must first experience and recognize the weight of those challenges themselves. This internal realization is essential for personal growth, as it fosters a deeper connection with the struggles faced by others.
Moreover, the process of being used by God to bless others requires a profound awakening to reality. Once our eyes are opened to the truth of situations, only then can we effectively contribute to making a positive difference. Charles R. Swindoll's message emphasizes the intersection of personal experience and divine purpose in serving others.
