WHAT DOES YOUR “CARING” MEAN?
“Look after him, he said, and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.” Luke 10:35
True sympathy is a heart-warning experience. When it is offered to others, it could console a sorrowful heart and comfort those who are discouraged. To be deeply touched by the misfortunes of others enriched your spirit, because true sympathy stirs the most profound emotions and enables you to understand the sadness and pain of others.
The Good Samaritan experienced such emotions when he “took pity on” the victim of the robbers at the roadside. However, he did not merely sympathize, but actively did something practical to ease the suffering of the unfortunate man. Sympathy is a splendid sentiment, but it is enriched when practically applied.
How practical sympathy could be applied, however, is not always clear. Sometimes it would seem as if all you can do is to say, “I feel for you.” However, that is better than saying nothing. If possible, a short visit will have helping and healing results. Never hesitate to visit people who have experienced sorrow or disaster. Just showing that you care is already a consolation to them.
There is something which you can do that has healing qualities, and that is to pray for the person. To know that they are receiving support in prayer can be great comfort to people. And the one who prays is enriched by the knowledge that he or she is a channel of God’s healing grace and comfort.
Prayer :
Make me an instrument of Your healing grace, O Master, so that I may be a blessing to all who are in distress.
Amen
