Sometimes we carry the burdens of others on our shoulders. At least I do. I remember working in LDRP and having a discussion with Alicia about her life at the time. I took the conversation and went home and intermittently thought about her. It was later the next day when I saw her again that I told her that I had been worrying about her. It was that interaction that helped me to realize that this is one of the gifts that God ha given me. He ha given me the ability to be concerned about others. Sometimes there is something that I can do about it. Sometimes I can’t do anything about it. But my ability lies in thinking about others, and in doing so I pray for them. I pray for God to care for them, to guide them, to love them. This is what I do.
On the down side it is emotionally taxing because as I think about others I stress and worry.
On the upside I am able to exude love, to share my heart with others. And most importantly I am able to pray and use the gifts that God has given me.
Thank you Lord
