hugs

Sometimes we just need a hug. That’s what believers should be to each other. That’s what community should feel like. Humans need physical contact. Sometimes it’s all that drives us forward, knowing someone will take the time out of his or her day to bring you into a sincere and loving embrace, and show you the love that Jesus has for each and every one of us. But other times it’s what hurts the most, when a hug is as empty and meaningless as the way you felt before receiving it. How can you tell the difference? You listen. Listen and watch for what follows.
