As someone who is frequently in their own head, struggling to speak and write with precise articulation, this was a nice reminder that actions truly speak louder than words. As a reverend, a struggle I have is the fear of being able to get through to others and to help them understand the Gospel, life's difficulties, and why it would be in anyone's best interest to avoid sin. I feel that fear immediately alleviated when I think about Christ's actions. Yes, He spoke in parables to provoke thinking in His followers, but it seemed that He was not concerned with whether or not His words were immediately heard. When we finally open up to hear His words, He is there for us. When we recognize the love behind all that He did, we feel confident and determined to mirror those actions in our own way. Thank you for this reflection, it really helped me today.
That comment made me laugh and brought a smile😂
