“A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.” Proverbs 17:17 NASB1995
Have you ever not noticed a bruise or sore spot on your body right up to the minute when somebody touches it. It’s usually accidental, but the effect is definite and immediate. “Ouch!! That hurts!”
How many people in your circle get close enough to see your woundedness ? How many of those do you actually permit so deeply into your space that they are, by a hug, a handshake, or even a word, in a position to poke that tender spot?
What about you? Do you leave enough margin in your life to be that person for someone else? Jesus left us one commandment . “Love one another”. John 13:34 Will you?
“Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.”1 John 2:7 NASB1995
