the art is lost

this entry relates to ubertati's entry good christians

so what do we as christians do when someone comes to us crying out with need?

there is one thing that we miss. one thing that is so small, that we think it won't help.

we can listen. sometimes the trite sayings "i'm praying for you (and lets face it, how many times do we say it and not actually do it?)" or "its in the Lord's hands" or "its all for the best" don't hold up. because it isn't genuine.

would it hurt you to go to a friend you know is struggling with something and instead of preaching and pointing fingers just sit. listen with your heart and mind.

sometimes that is all the encouragement we need. the Lord can heal thru the most seemingly small ways.

Hey,

I am currently in a class and I decided to write a pointless comment...not that any comment placed is pointless just that this one has no point at all. I think by saying that this comment has not point I am then giving this comment a point so that means that this comment does and have a point. However now I'm too far along in this comment to remember what the point is...oh forget it...it's pointless
