Comfort one another.
Suffering can unite people in
powerful ways because it reveals their common need for God. Divisions and
conflicts often appear trivial in the face of suffering. Make room in your life
for broken and grieving people.
Whenever you encounter someone who has suffered
a loss, think and pray about what you can do to help: from providing child
care, meals, or job training, to simply listening to them share their stories.
Don’t minimize, exaggerate, or trivialize grief. Instead, point grieving people
to the source of real hope – Christ – and let your shared hope in Him draw you
closer to each other.
