Stay Involved in
Others’ Lives
Day 324
“When you listen to somebody and he or she shares what’s
really happening, the pat answers don’t work, and you don’t know what to say,”
says Dr. Larry Crabb. “But it’s at that point when you don’t know what to say
that if you back away, you lose the opportunity to touch. In your inadequacy
can you stay involved?”
Don’t back away because you are afraid of getting involved
in another person’s sorrows and problems. No one is wholly adequate, but
everyone has a choice: (1) stay involved and truly show love and help or (2)
back away, afraid of making things worse.
Take the risk, and God will provide the strength.
“Serve one another in love” (Galatians 5:13).
Great Lord, yes, with
You I really can be strong. Amen.
