Why do others need us? They need us due to the fact that life offers so much stressors ;some invited and others uninvited. In such a scenario, we are supposed to offer a  listening ear to anyone  going through tough times, offering words of encouragement, or simply being that shoulder to lean on.<\/p>\n<p>We may not have all the solutions to our dear ones passing through issues but being present and offering a listening ear  can make a big difference in their lives . As we interact  with them, it&#8217;s important we  strive to be kind, compassionate, and non-judgmental. We should approach each person with love and respect, recognizing that we are all imperfect and in need of God&#8217;s grace. Let us  desist from blame game like the one depicted by Job&#8217;s three friends.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, let us pray for God&#8217;s guidance and protection in their lives. When we pray for others, we are demonstrating our love and concern for them. It&#8217;s  important brethren to  strive to fulfill the law of Christ by bearing one another&#8217;s burdens and being a source of their comfort and strength . By doing so, we form a very strong support system.<\/p>\n<p>Further readings:<br \/>\nMat 25:34-40<br \/>\nJoh.13:14-15<br \/>\nGal. 5:13-15<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude4f Blessed Day \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gal 6:2, it says, &#8220;Bear one another&#8217;s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.&#8221; To be in someone&#8217;s support system means being available for others when they need us .
