I am learning that we are all, to a greater or lesser extent, living with our wounds. The pain surfaces from time to time: at moments of crisis, when provoked by anger or simply when we choose not to hide behind the facade anymore. As believers, we have an obligation to imitate Jesus. In Isaiah 42, he is described as one who would not break a bruised reed or snuff out a smoldering wick. In other words, one who does not treat the wounded with harshness but tenderly speaking into them the Word that helps bring stability to their lives.
That is our calling. It is the calling of the Body of Christ. Make us tender towards one another!
