Summary: Have you seen a hurt that only Jesus can remedy but have been scared to say anything? Sometimes we fear meddling in someone else's life, thinking that we may not be welcome, even though we know the answer to all of life's struggles. I've been guilty of this. When Pat and I lived in Mexico City, my neighbor was a young television personality. We would chat sometimes, and he even mentioned that he listened to my radio program. But I didn't share the Gospel. He seemed immune to the problems of life. He seemed to have it all together. Eventually, though, my neighbor changed. The joy seemed to have left his face. He and his wife started driving separate cars to work. I could tell their marriage was souring, and I felt the need to talk with him, but I didn't want to meddle in his life. That didn't seem the polite thing to do. When I returned home from a crusade in Peru, I learned my neighbor had killed himself. I was heartbroken. I knew I should have gone to him and shared the love of Christ. But because of false courtesy, I didn't do it. Don't let my mistake be yours. Share Jesus' love with everyone. Gently ask about people's hurts and recommend the Great Physician who can heal them.
