📜 THE VERSE

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
When did I last laugh with another's joy and weep with another's grief?
📝Reflection
Comfort does not need many words. Paul's prescription is simple: laugh together, weep together. To the grieving, weeping beside them is far greater comfort than laying out solutions. For a long time I thought comforting meant finding good words to offer. But the ones who actually comforted me in my hard times were not those who gave answers but those who simply stayed beside me. To weep together is to lay my feeling over theirs. Empathy is not a solution but a walking-alongside.
