The late Dr. Karl Menninger of the Menninger Clinic tells of a woman who sat day after day in her rocking chair without saying a word. He called a nurse and told her to love that woman till she gets well. The nurse accepted the challenge. She got another rocking chair, sat alongside the woman, and rocked without saying anything. The third day the patient spoke, and in a week, she was out of her shell and on her way to health. That’s love at its finest sharing another’s silence and sorrow, bearing their burden with them. And love does it again—works another miracle.
“May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other.”
— 1 Thessalonians 3:12 (NIV)
Lord Jesus may your love do its holy work through us. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
