Be tender as I am tender.
Soul Snack 182/10 ... Maturing in Tenderness
Maturing in tenderness#, what a fresh, even courageous thought to consider.
Have you ever noted another's plea for tenderness?
Have you ever desired to be the recipient of tenderness?
Tenderness can be delivered in a million ways, but originates from only one reason -- love.
An exchanged glance of warmth, or maybe the genuine softness of affirmation, the glow of happiness as another's presence is entered or the light touch of greeting- all can be a path to tenderness.
I wonder if maturing in tenderness means I can create paths for it when I see this need in others, and not just in myself?
Surely Jesus would couch His plea something like this ... be tender as I am tender.
