Don’t Stop Caring 

When we are under intense pressure for an extended period of time, we can slip into isolation that consumes us.  We can begin to think that no one cares and no one understands what we’re going through.

Depending on our disposition, we can slip into a type of uncaring that we think is a protective posture, but instead it imprisons us in loneliness.

So, my challenge today for you is to remain open.  Keep your mind, your eyes and your heart open.  You are not alone and you mustn’t face your challenges alone.  And I am here to remind you that despite the loudness and harshness of a world that would have you believe that it’s ‘every person for themselves,’ I want you to know that I care, but more importantly that God cares, if you will just keep your eyes, your mind, and your heart open!

Yes, we must all risk disappointment when people fail us, but the alternative is far worse.  Isolation can very quickly become callousness and carelessness that causes us to become and perpetuate the cold hardness that we are attempting to avoid.  

That’s all.

So my encouragement to you today is simple.  Remain open – eyes, mind, heart, and hands – what your soul requires will return to you – but you must remain open and expecting to receive. Get it?

⁸ Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. ⁹ Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.  

1 Peter 4:8-9

Good Morning, I love you all!
