It's been one of those weeks, God. As I listen to the hearts of others, I feel so inadequate. What should I say when there are no answers? What should I do as they face tremendous challenges? I hear their pain. I see their weariness. I realize they are grasping for something to hold...someone to care...some place to go...some way to survive the deep blows in their lives.
How do I respond? They certainly aren't looking for a sermon...or criticism...or lofty words...or reasons why they shouldn't feel. They simply need...love, compassion, healing, concern, strength, hope. They need to know someone cares...right where they are...in the middle of life..and will not leave them. They need...You.
May I love, listen and live a life that leads them to You, O God. You hold, hug, heal and give hope to this hurting world. Thank You!♥~thl
"Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him.'" Lamentations 3: 21>24
