The difference between "talking about" and "being"


Oh, this is so, so, so true:

Sure, people need Jesus, but most of the time, what they really need is for someone to be Jesus to them.

    I was always very good at being on the giving end of grace, but when I lost my job and needed to be on the recieving end, I discovered just how hard that was. My faith community was very giving and supportive, but it can be very difficult when, suddenly, the tables are turned.
