It can feel challenging to shift from being a perpetual rescuer to being an encourager but it is an important one to make because the latter empowers everyone involved. You should absolutely step in if someone is in crisis and needs assistance to stabilize, but the goal should always be to help the person find their own balance and the courage to discover and trust in their own divine capability. If you are always jumping in to take on what another can do for themselves, the underlying message is that you do not think they are qualified to run their own life, and that is a very disempowering message, indeed. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
