Some of us seem to be more blessed than others. Perhaps, you feel this, too. Maybe you've lived a great, happy, healthy life while someone you care about is suffering. Often times, one may think that, because they've had it easier, their own health must always come second to another's. A lot of the time, it may feel like there's no choice but to come second, and it is, of course, good to put others first. But please make sure you aren't draining your own energy. I'm sure God is very pleased with the determination to help others, but I don't think pouring your care out to others until you're dry is necessarily pleasing to Him. Always make sure you're still able to stand strong, too, not too tired or feeling too helpless. If you want to be a sort of safe place to go to, a place to find some hope, that's great, but that falls apart the moment you do, and the more drained you are, the less you have to give.
