The saying if it isn't broke don't fix is works great in the physical realm, not so much in the realm of relationships and roles dealing with humans. This is because all are broken in some way. We want to add to healing, so if it isn't fixed don't break it. Lift up the hands that hang down. Share the burden vs. don't climb up on that load. We want God to see us as a healer not a breaker.
