Do not ignore the one who weeps

It is uncomfortable to approach someone else's pain. You do not know what to say, you fear doing it badly, or you prefer not to complicate things. So you look the other way. Yet indifference also makes a choice. When someone flees misery, war, loneliness, or deep sadness, they need more than opinions from afar. Following Jesus moves you to stop. You will not always be able to solve it, but you can certainly not abandon the person as if they did not matter.
