Quote:
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the
most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much
advice, solutions, cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch
our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent
with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an
hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing,
not healing and face us with the reality of our power-lessness, that is a
friend who cares. ~ Henri J. M. Nouwen
Galatians 6:2
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Prayer:
My Lord,
Show me how to be a friend who cares. Amen.
