Notes from church this morning. . .
Genuine
must meet
Truth.
One without the other
is like separating
bones from the body.
Genuine care
must meet
God's Word.
Sincere listening
must meet
real prayer.
Acknowledgement of pain
must meet
pointing to eternity.
Care without Christ feels good but lacks the strength of the {bone structure} of the Word of God.
Simply handing Bible verses out to the hurting, without genuine care, is skeletal comfort.
We are blessed by so many who have showed us these truths in real life. . . praying for the wisdom and sensitivity to be this kind of comfort for others.
This is good and thought-provoking. Thanks for sharing!
