All it takes is just to hold someone's hand and Jesus will do the rest.
It’s often said find a community and don’t suffer alone, and it does make sense but if the community is not available where do you go. We all have different experiences in life and some have left us with scars , some are more visible than others and some are too foreign or too severe that it’s easier to shut off and walk away because it’s too overwhelming to accommodate. How are we any different to the children of this world if we do that? Are we not the light and salt of this earth, Jesus does not walk away from anyone, He is compassionate, empathetic and available. Are we not meant to be walking like Him. When we are in Him, He empowers us and gives us the grace, wisdom and ability to handle whatever is in front of us. All it takes is a willing and loving heart that says Jesus l am available and you can use me. We often think it’s far much easier to give money to the poor and feel good about it because there is not much connection and not so easy to walk with one hurting or going through a difficult situation. Be intentional and choose both giving and the difficult part. You just never know what’s on the flip side of your response. Find a community, Be a community. Can you allow one more in your closed community, Come just as you are, you are welcome.
