"Tell me your story."
Four of my favorite words.
Here's why...
Because this is how we walk away from self-centeredness and into love.
Can we climb into another's shoes for a moment, and feel what they feel?
Can we sit and be present and just listen?
Can we offer compassion for the hard parts of their journey
and grace for the shameful parts
and love for all of it?
Can we be the hands and feet and heart of Jesus
in a world longing to be seen and heard and understood?
I think we can -- one story at a time.
