Be happy with those who are happy, and
weep with those who weep.
—Romans 12:15 NLT
Rejoice with one who is happy, and cry
with one who is hurting. Be whatever is necessary in each moment. Listen with
not only your mind, but with your heart. To share in someone’s grief is a gift
that gives you strength through your own pain. To share in their joy is
something that makes you appreciate the blessings that God has given you. Be
ready in season and out of season for the person He sends to you. Listen to
their suffering, and you will soon rejoice with them in new awareness of His
love. Pain that is experienced today often becomes part of the joy of tomorrow—for
not only the one who needs you, but for you.
