Good Morning FB..Often the best response to others suffering is simply to sit with them in silence. Jobs friends realized that his pain was too deep for mere words, so they said nothing (Job 2:11-13). Its easy for us to feel we must say something spiritual or insightful to hurting friends, because we want to comfort them or help them in some way, But sometimes the most helpful thing we can offer to show others we care is our presence. Pat answers and quotations dont communicate nearly as much as our empathetic silence and loving companionship. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 2 Cor. 1:3-4 Have a Blessed Day!
