When words don’t work, remember that presence does. Love does. An embrace does. That’s the beauty and power of the incarnation. God didn’t shout his love from heaven. He showed us his love on earth as he became one of us in the person of his Son Jesus. When someone is in the valley, rather than trying to explain what’s happening, sometimes we are better off listening. Rather than preaching, we focus on loving. And in those moments of quiet presence, God often reveals himself in ways that go beyond our human ability to understand.
