Each person created has been given different talents, a different
calling. We are all placed on this earth as mentors, someone who
has learned through mistakes, then helps to show the way to others
that they may avoid the same uncertainty. When we come together
with open hearts and helping hands, we lessen each other's burdens,
allowing all people greater success and time to rest. Sir Isaac
Newton once said, "If I have seen further it is by standing
on the shoulders of Giants." In offering and receiving help;
whether in ideals, physical endeavors or in spiritual plights,
we build togetherness, generating a renewed strength of the entire
human race.
Let us, then, have no fear in approaching the throne of grace
to receive mercy and to find grace when we are in need of help.
- Hebrews 4:16
