I’ve got your back
Last week at the end of a particularly busy day, I
remembered a task I still had to do.
Realizing it would take half the time to accomplish with someone else
helping, I asked another sister from my house to join me. “Of course!
I’ve got your back.”
Just a few days later I left town but had some seeds
germinating that needed to be watched closely.
A few sisters volunteered to keep an eye on them. Not wanting to burden them, I tried my best
to make sure everything was in place, but inevitably a problem arose with the
lights. One of the sisters took care of
it and has been keeping me informed via texts: “Don’t worry, I’ve got your
back! You just enjoy your time away.”
For me, like for many others, it isn’t always easy to take
the vulnerable step and ask for help.
But whether or not I ask for it, my sisters show their love and support
for me through their daily actions. In
big and little ways, they prove that they have my back- and they witness the love
of a God who always has my back.
Who’s got your back and how do you know? How do you show this to others?
