Thoughts That Touch My Heart

"It is helpful if we learn how to be comfortable with other people's emotional pain, whether it's a male or a female. When someone is being transparent and/or emotional, sometimes, it's best for us to just be still. We don't have to always say something. Sometimes, it is best to try not to even touch them or hand them a tissue, while they are in the process of experiencing their pain and/or brokenness. It's amazing how, by allowing a person to experience their thoughts, emotions, and brokenness, they are afforded the priceless opportunity to fix themselves, without being "interrupted" by our need to "help" them. And, most of the time, that is what needs to happen...people need to fix themselves, because no one can do it for them."-DL
