The "Word" for the Week
Thursday, December 29, 2011 • Posted December 29, 2011

Coming alongside and just being present with someone in the hospital or under some special pressure is often all that’s needed. It’s a sign of love. It’s a token of care. We don’t need to talk a lot. We may not know what to say. We may be afraid of foot-in-mouth disease. We can be present. We can listen. We can clasp a hand. These are powerful tools of comfort.There is a divine application. God says, “I will make My dwelling among you, and My soul will not reject you. I will also walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people” (Leviticus 26:11-12).God fulfills this promise in heaven. “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away” (Revelation 21:3-4).
