Look around. Who are the tenderhearted in your circle? Do not forget to look at the little ones. Showing tenderness is really showing strength.
Little ones often help each other navigate playground challenges. They help the people and pets in their path with no agenda. They enjoy serving. They find joy in pouring into others.
Look to the special needs population, too. They often have an extra dose of tenderhearted tenacity, too. Just try and stop them from "helping" when they see a need. You might be up for a battle.
"Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you." -Ephesians 4:32
Jesus looks upon us with tenderhearted compassion. His love stretches deep and wide. His forgiveness changes everything. He sees the messes we make... and the hot mess we might be... and chooses to love us anyway.
His example is perfect.
Today, I am grateful for the tenderhearted.
