Your Question:
What does it mean to put others first in a world of hurt?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen firsthand how hurt people can hurt others. It's a vicious cycle that's hard to break. When we're wounded, we often become self-absorbed and focused on our own pain. We can't seem to get out of our own misery, and it's hard to think about others when we're in so much pain ourselves. But that's exactly when we need to put others first. In a world of hurt, it's easy to get caught up in our own suffering and forget about the needs of those around us. But that's not what God calls us to do. He calls us to love others, even when we're hurting. That means being willing to put others first, even when it's hard. It means being willing to listen to them, to care for them, and to show them compassion, even when we're struggling ourselves. As the Bible says, "Love each other as I have loved you" (John 15:12). When we put others first in a world of hurt, it's not always easy. It takes effort and sacrifice. But it's in those moments that we experience the true power of God's love. When we're willing to put others first, we're reminded that we're not alone in our pain. We're reminded that God is with us, and that He loves us, even when we're struggling. And that's a message that can bring hope and healing to those around us.
