Care Must be Noticeable
We cannot claim to care just because we get a stomach ache or headache over someone’s difficult or sad circumstances. Care is action toward, for, on behalf of, the grieving or hurting soul. It includes moving into the uncomfortable territory.
Feelings must be translated into words, gifts, actions, tears, audible prayers, a walk across the street. Jesus is God become a person; “the Word (logos) became flesh.” God put his love into physical, visible, tangible form. Jesus is God’s model for our lives—“dying for others.”
