VERSE

“Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.”

ROMANS 12:15 NIV

THOUGHT

Jesus was always on mission, but never in a hurry. He moved with purpose, but never overlooked a single person. No matter their story, struggle, or situation, He met them right where they were and gave them the gift of his full presence and attention. Our time and attention may be the most valuable gift we have. When we give them freely, especially to someone who needs it, we reflect the heart of Jesus. Let’s be people who slow down, show up, and love well.

CHALLENGE

Quality Time

Your presence matters more than you know, and someone in your life needs it today. Whether it’s a deep conversation or simply showing up fully in a moment, God wants to use your time and attention to make someone feel seen, valued, and loved. So, who might need that today? Maybe it’s a friend going through a tough season, your kids craving connection, a coworker in need of encouragement, a parent who just wants a moment with you, or even a stranger who feels invisible. Today, push back against the rush and be interruptible. Give someone your full attention–no strings, no distractions–just love. You never know what kind of healing God might bring through something so simple.
