A big statement, I know, but definitely true. Under the category lament I also include the ability to sit with someone in their grief without drawing back in discomfort. That is the lesson the Lord brought back time and again during my 12 years on the field with team members, local believers, victims of the earthquake, and even mu own family. In short - lament.
Thank you so much for this! Such a neglected topic in western Christianity. Here is a blues song inspired by the book of Lamentations: https://suno.com/s/Z6WaGf7VzQU0iE5A
So good! If I could name the most important thing I learned my 12 years on the field, it was lament.
Thanks for sharing that. Wow, the most important thing? That's significant, especially in light of 12 years of service.

What a lovely aroma of Christ, the man of sorrows among the nations.
Nicely done!
