"But it's at that point when you don't know what to say that if you back away, you lose the opportunity to touch. In your inadequacy can you stay involved?" Don't back away because you are afraid of getting involved in another person's sorrows and problems. No one is wholly adequate, but everyone has a choice: (1) stay involved and truly show love and help or (2) back away, afraid of making things worse. Take the risk, and God will provide the strength. "Serve one another in love" (Galatians 5:13). Great Lord, yes, with You I really can be strong. Amen.
