About showing God's tenderness�

Acts 20:35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: `It is more blessed to give than to receive.' " (NIV)

There is brutality at every turn in life. Cutting remarks can scar a child for life. The harsh realities of living in a nursing home can cut out the heart of the elderly. In between our childhood and elder years are the years of productivity. However, circumstances and relationships breaking our heart can savage our years of productivity. In these savage times, we need to show others the tenderness of Christ. In these times when feelings are brutalized, just one person showing a small amount of Christ's tenderness can make the difference between failure and success, living or dying, or fullness and emptiness in a person's life. If you were in a crisis or if you are in a crisis now, a tender word or gesture from someone else makes all the difference in your healing and in your overcoming a crisis. What is most important of all is for you to understand how others desperately need your show of tenderness.
