One of life's great pains has struck. His heart was heavy. He stepped into the room and hugged her neck. From the bottom of his heart came deep sobbing. He cried and cried. She held him. He had lost a friend.
So many people need to cry, so many people have heavy hearts. They carry the weight and they carry the pain, looking for a place and a time to let it out. There is such a need to let people cry. Such a need to be a safe person.
Who is around you that may need a hug? Who is around you whose heart is heavy with grief? Do we know how to pay attention and look for them? Do you have someone to go to with your grief? How long has it been since you hugged someone's neck and cried like a baby. I hope you don't feel the need to cry, but if you do, find a friend and hug their neck and let it go.
It is the ministry of Jesus to comfort those who grieve.
