We are supposed to be there for one another. I think that's what God desires from us. I think we need to give off the kind of vibe that tells someone else - "It's safe to fall in my presence. I will still love you, no matter what you tell me.”
I want that kind of person in my life. I want to BE that kind of person in someone else’s life.
But how many times have we failed each other? How many times have we eagerly gone to help another soul far from home… and neglected the one in our own city? Our own church?
How reliable ARE we? Really?
Are our own appointments and agendas more important? Our own schedules? Do they keep us from showing up for someone else, because our TIME is short?
Yes. They do.
Yes. They have.
For me. And for you.
Words are good. But they are just words. Actions speak even louder.
Arms can only be felt in person. Tears, only seen and wiped by a gentle hand who is there in that moment.
Yes, we are supposed to be there for one another.
Are we?
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:11 , "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."
