Job 6 - Be Kind To Your Friend

14 “A friend should treat a troubled person kindly, even if he abandons the fear of the Almighty.Job 6:14 (GW)

Reflection of B:

We need to be compassionate towards our friends, especially when they are suffering or in trouble.

A friend of mine has shared something very confidential and personal with me last night. I tried to help by asking many questions in order to understand his problems and to give better advice. However, I probably sounded a little too logical and he felt I wasn't sympathizing with him. I actually did and spent more than 2 hours chatting to see how I might help. Perhaps, I need to learn to be more gentle with my words next time.

Dear Lord,
I pray that You will give me wisdom and a heart of compassion when I deal with those need my help. I pray for this friend of my to come to know You as His Saviour to rescue him from his sins and troubles. I pray You will guide me as to what to say to him again the next time. I commit this friend to Your hand.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
