I have had many opportunities to exercise that gift in my interactions with other people in a nonthreatening way after a quick prayer to the Lord for guidance and waiting for the power of the Holy Spirit to intervene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen I see others near me or in my space so to speak who are presenting visual signs of discouragement, I will have a desire--and often do prayerfully and in a nonthreatening manner--to inquire and ask the question in a nonthreatening way whether there is anything that I can be of help with. I further say, \"You seem as though that something is weighing heavy on you,\" without saying you look like you are carrying a burden. Telling them about the burden barrier can be presented later if the person accepts me in the situation. If that happens, I can share that I have had similar experiences and share in a testimony of what made the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn this journey, we are going to have trials and tribulations, and the real answer is how we react to it. All of us have a story to tell, but the best conclusion of any of our stories are the ones that includes what the outcome would have been--worse--if it had not been for the Lord who was on our side.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christian Faith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47780026548375,"sku":"9781098034047","price":981.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781098034047.webp?v=1778041836","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/water-the-flowers-because-you-care-finally-its-not-about-me-9781098034047","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
