Weeping with Those Who Weep
Posted: February 10, 2022
Who can you comfort today?…
While slaloming through daily commitments,
other’s expectations
can get in our head
and crowd out our confidence.
As a result, we miss a gate.
We make mistakes.
We question our competence
and replay our regrets.
We temporarily forget that CHAMP
is spelled with an A and not a U.
We long for a shoulder to cry on
and hear someone who believes in us
remind us what we are capable of.
We need to know we’re not alone.
We need to realize that others understand.
And once we realize that the thrill of victory
and the agony of defeat is a common to our race,
we need to be at the finish line (or before)
to comfort those in pain.
Who can you comfort today?
“Rejoice with those who rejoice.
Weep with those who weep.” Romans 12:15
