Hebrews 10:24

彼此相顾，激发爱心，勉励行善。

You Can, Because He Can

You can ask the Lord
because He will not give you a wrong answer.

You can wait upon the Lord
because His timing is always perfect.

You can trust in the Lord
because He makes no mistakes.

You can hope in the Lord
because He holds your future.

You can rest in the Lord
because He is in control of your life.

You can lean upon the Lord
because He is completely faithful.

When Someone is Hurting, C.A.R.E.

Connect - When someone is hurting, we often don't know what to say or do. But even simply expressing, "I'm sorry and I care about you," can make a tremendous difference.

Accept - When we try to help someone, it's easy to direct their emotions or give advice. But emotions need to be shared openly. You'll be a blessing by providing a safe place to grieve.

Respond - While it is important to take action. What you do can be practical (like providing a meal) or symbolic (like sharing a thoughtful gift).

Extend - People are flooded with attention when a loss first occurs, but support usually decreases over time. By remembering and continuing to reach out, you can bring comfort and healing.
