With YouSample
Being a good friend is so easy! All you have to do is hang out, talk a little, remember their birthday, and answer their texts, and that's all there is to it . . . right? Well, friendship might feel easy when life is easy, but it gets more complicated when a friend is having a hard time. When that happens, what should you do? What should you say? What should you not say?
There's a story in the Bible about a guy named Job who had everything he could ever ask for. But then one day it was all gone. Everything. When Job's friends tried to comfort him, let's be honest — they got a lot of things wrong. But there's one thing they did right. They were there. Because if we want someone to know God is with them, we need to be with them too. So whether it's a friend or someone who needs a friend, God's calling us to be with people when they’re grieving.
What does it look like when someone is grieving? Is it possible that it looks different for each person?
