Bible Question:
Today, I've just heard someone say that it is MORE IMPORTANT to weep with those who weep THAN to rejoice with those who rejoice. Usually I think it is generally true. However, when I rethink about the verse, there is no such comparison in it. So, I started to ponder if the above statement is biblical or not. Your input is much appreciated. Shalom Azure |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, Azure, I have had friends that I rejoiced with and wept with (or for). The level we do either is important. I have a friend who lost a family member ... it impacted me more than any other person except for a family member. I chose to give her a hug and attend functions. I think rejoicing takes less energy.
