Another
lesson we can learn from duct tape is that although we can use it to fix
things, it will never be in and of itself a permanent solution. As Christians,
we can be the duct tape in peoples’ lives by sticking to them when they are
having some struggles, but we alone cannot be their solution. We cannot be
everything to everyone; it is just our job to point people to Jesus. Although
we know we are to be imitators of others as they are of Jesus, there should
still be that moment when we follow in the footsteps of John. Remember what
John the Baptist said: “He must increase, and I must decrease” (John 3.30).
Although we can be there for some people some of the time, we will never be
able to be there for all of the people all of the time. Make sure you are
pointing others to Jesus and not just to yourself.
