“I recently received a text from a friend who’s pretty needy. I couldn’t be bothered replying so I just left it on seen. A few days later I was reading Philippians, where it calls us to show other people the same kind of value that Jesus shows us.
As I sat there on the deck, I thought about how grateful I am for Jesus’ care and rescue in my life. I was both moved by his kindness to me and convicted about my comparative lack of care for my friend. In response, I thanked him for the worth he places on me and on this friend; then I asked the Holy Spirit to help me show God’s care for her by replying that morning and making a time to chat. My friend felt loved and I think God did too.”
