Often tenderness is the answer. In a world where there is so little and we are conditioned not to let our weakness show I am reminded of Elijah's journey in Kings. God didn't lecture him or tell him to toughen up, instead God tenderly cared for Elijah. He sent an angel to Elijah who served Elijah's needs. There are earthly angels among us. Those God has placed in our lives to minister tenderness... be love..... show grace. They are the hug given that serves like a balm to our soul. They are the strength we need as their arms envelop us. They are the word we need to hear at just the right time. Don't for a minute think you have to do this all on your own. Open you eyes and your heart. I guarantee God has someone waiting in the wings to serve up tenderness like the angel who took care of Elijah.
