“Will you sit with me in the ashes?” We’ve all been there…feeling our lives have gone up in flames. What we need is someone to simply join us in the rubble.
“Rejoice with those who rejoice. Mourn with those who mourn.” Romans 12: 15
The simple, practical truth of that verse is life changing. It reminds us that we don’t have to have the perfect words for someone who is hurting. What they need most is to know they’re not alone. Jason Gray once shared that he asked a friend to sit with him in the “ashes” of his life. That thought stuck with me.
Who needs you to sit with them today? You don’t have to say a word as you join their mourning.
Who can you invite to join you in the ashes of your life today? You are not alone. Ask someone to sit with you.
