Be Willing to Reach Out
Day 330

"In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we
must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said:
'It is more blessed to give than to receive'" (Acts 20:35).

You have probably been the recipient of much help throughout your time
of grief. That is a great blessing. But think about Jesus' words: "It
is more blessed to give than to receive." Now it's your turn to be the
giver.

"Look around and find someone else who's hurting," says Linda, whose
baby died, "and minister to that person, whether it's just a card or a
phone call. It seems like when you reach out to someone else, your grief
begins to heal and it doesn't seem as overwhelming to you. You can see
beyond it."

Lord Jesus, it sure is hard to see beyond myself. What can I do to
reach out to another person in love today? Amen.
