Sometimes people don’t need fixing. They don’t need your advice, your solutions, or even your well-meaning pep talk.
They just need to be met where they are — in the rawness of their reality — and to be reminded, without a single demand placed on them, that they matter.
They need someone who will sit with them without hurrying their process. Someone who will listen without turning their story into a lesson. Someone who will see beyond their brokenness and recognise the beauty God still sees in them.
This is why our weekly encounter groups exist.
To be a table where everyone has a seat.
To be a room where tears don’t need to be explained.
To be a space where masks aren’t required because there’s no performance here — only presence.
📖 "Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2 (NKJV)
When we meet, we don’t come to fix each other. We come to carry one another’s burdens to the One who can truly heal. In His presence, walls come down and hearts begin to breathe again.
🙌Prayer:
Lord Jesus, teach us to love like You love — with no strings attached and no hidden agenda. Help us to create spaces where people feel safe to be seen, known, and cherished. May our listening ears and open hearts be a reflection of Yours. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
