We’re pretty quick to try to fix things.
Someone tells us they’re struggling and immediately we start looking for an answer.
Advice.
A solution.
Something encouraging to say.
Anything that might make the situation better.
But Scripture gives us something much simpler:
“Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.”
Sometimes loving somebody means celebrating without making their moment about you.
And sometimes it means sitting beside them when there isn’t a single thing you can say that will make it better.
No fixing.
No explaining.
No rushing them toward feeling differently.
Just being there.
Jesus didn’t call us to have an answer for everything another person experiences.
He called us to love people.
Laugh when they laugh.
Celebrate their wins.
Sit with them in the hard stuff.
Listen.
Care.
Stay.
Because sometimes the most meaningful thing you can give another person isn’t an answer.
It’s your presence.
You don’t have to fix someone’s moment to share it with them.
