As I spent time in prayer this morning, my mind was brought to the many in my world that are going through terrible trials - trials I cannot even begin to fathom.
I began to ask myself what my response, as a follower of Jesus, should be. In the past, I have offered little more than platitudes & cliches, thinking that somehow this would be helpful to my struggling brother or sister.
As a talker, I have always felt that my words were necessary to provide comfort, when in fact my words are often not necessary at all. A quiet & humble prayer offered in sincerity to The Lord along with a choice to journey alongside my hurting friend is worth far more than meaningless prattle.
My prayer today is that I would be a reflection of His heart, & that His love would be evident to all, that He will be glorified. When light is reflected in a window, we are captivated by the light, not the window.
