00:00:23 --> 00:00:27 Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:47 i read a story a friend shared on facebook it was about a

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48 little girl whose friend

00:00:48 --> 00:00:53 had been bullied on the school bus the mom who wrote about it

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54 had a daughter who

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57 witnessed the bullying listen to what she said

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02 I asked her if she was okay, my child said tearfully.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06 She didn't say anything, so I just scooted closer.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:08 Reluctantly,

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09 she admitted,

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11 I didn't know what to do,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:11 Mama,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13 so I just hurt with her.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:18 A lot of times we are like this child.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21 We don't know what to do or say.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23 I think in our Western culture,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26 we rush in to say something when really...

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31 We just need to take a page out of this sweet child's book and

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33 just sit and hurt

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34 right with them.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37 Proverbs 10.19 says,

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39 When words are many,

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41 sin is unavoidable,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45 but he who restrains his lips is wise.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48 Remember Job's friends?

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52 Many are hurting in this broken world.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:59 We can be the salt and light Jesus calls us to be just by

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00 bearing one another's

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03 burdens and weeping with those who weep.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:09 If you see someone in need of empathy, words aren't needed.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13 We can just sit nearby and hurt with them.

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16 Our meme for today says,

00:02:19 --> 00:02:22 In the present is the present.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24 In other words,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26 being truly with someone,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29 in the moment and without distractions,

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31 is a great gift.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35 How has this played out in your life?
