Love for Hated and Lonely People

The Gospel is not a pat on the back for good people.

It is comfort for grieving people.

Hope for broken people.

Love for hated and lonely people.

– David L. Hansen  (and to Robin from Ohio,

a long-time online friend

whom I finally met in Nashville

at The Festival of Homiletics:

Thank You for this quote!)

“The shortest distance between two people is a story,” a bumper sticker told me yesterday.

Your story about how The Gospel has helped you deal with hatred or loneliness can be exactly what someone needs to hear today.

There’s a balance between listening and speaking, and someone you know needs you to lovingly demonstrate both today.

Listen with love for a chance to tell your story of The Gospel.
