A little boy stubbed his toes and skinned his knees. They weren't healing. Running to his mother, he asked, "Why?"
"You're picking at your sores," she answered. "Let's bandage them."
This applies to the sores of our brothers, as well as the sores of our bodies.
Let's do less picking, and more praying; less criticizing, and more complementing; less griping, and more giving; less whining, and more witnessing; less loathing, and more loving.
The Living bible says, "If you love someone you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground defending him."
