Have you ever noticed how easy it is to talk to someone who…

Is neutral
Is accepting
Admits they also struggle
Knows relationships are hard work
Is non-judgmental
Has a hopeful heart
Admits they also have weaknesses
Knows that life is one long struggle
Understands grieving
Accepts that we all break down sometimes
Wants to be encouraging
Gets you when you say, I’m tired
Wants to be your friend
Enjoys you
Loves you

Bible Connection

Think about how loving Jesus was when he first met Peter. (Luke 5:8-10)
Or, think about how kind Jesus was when he encountered the woman at the well. (John 4:1-26)

Prayer

Father, bless me and those around me with love and patience. Thank you for the Holy Spirit, my comforter. Help me be like Jesus and the Holy Spirit when I encounter other strugglers. Amen
