What do you do when you recognize that a person is hurting? What do you say when you compare your life to theirs and it seems as if the hand dealt to you was inexplicably better? What can you do when your whole heart is filled with compassion to the point where you would give anything, even everything that you have to that person in hopes of satisfying their emptiness, soothing their pain and bringing them joy? What can you do if everything that person needed transcended materialism, even the pleasures of this world? What if that person needed Jesus? What if they knew they needed Jesus but did not know how to experience Him? How do you help a person experience Jesus, meet Jesus, receive love from Jesus, lean on Jesus, depend on Jesus, trust in Jesus when even you sometimes fail at all of the above? How do you hold back tears from smudging the pages of your journal when the solution to this person's problems seems so out of your grasp? How do you go about your daily business when this person's life continues to weigh heavily on your heart? I don't know. Jesus answer me.
