You Are Not the Same
Day 330
“In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard
work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus himself
said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’” (Acts 20:35).
You have probably been the recipient of much help throughout
your time of grief. That is a great blessing. But think about Jesus’ words: “It
is more blessed to give than to receive.” Now it’s your turn to be the giver.
“Look around and find someone else who’s hurting,” says
Linda, whose baby died, “and minister to that person, whether it’s just a card
or a phone call. It seems like when you reach out to someone else, your grief
begins to heal and it doesn’t seem as overwhelming to you. You can see beyond
it.”
Lord Jesus, it sure is
hard to see beyond myself. What can I do to reach out to another person in love
today? Amen.
