Sorry to have passed you by, open my eyes Lord, and open my heart....

Today I was walking in the University Center and this girl was propped up by the bathroom crying. I passed her trying not to make her feel awkward and trying to pretend I didn't see her. I went to the bathroom and while I washed my hands I asked myself.:Why am I trying to not make her feel awkward...I'm the one that's making this an awkward situation because I know I need to see if I can help. I think we seek to avoid situations that might make us involve ourselves especially when we are busy . If should love my neighbor as I love myself, then why am I avoiding this person who is feeling pain and hurt? Why am I too busy to offer an ear, a word of encouragement, or give a bit of my time?

And now these three remain, faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. -1 Cor 13:13
