Empathy

As we’ve been reflecting on gatherings this week, today we reflect on what Paul meant in Romans 15:7 when he wrote:

Welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you.

Ask the Spirit to speak to you though the words of the poet today.

Empathy
Morgan Harper Nichols

Let me hold the door for you.
I may have never walked in your shoes,
but I can see your soles are worn,
your strength is torn
under the weight of a story
I have never lived before.

Let me hold the door for you.
After all you’ve walked through,
It’s the least I can do.”
