To wear their broken shoes
“I don‘t need your pity nor your sermon, I only need you to understand me.“ Whenever my friends or fellow youth in our church share their personal problems before, I always say “Oh, I have experienced that as well! You know what...” I tried to prove how I can relate to their situation by sharing what happened to me and by strongly agreeing with what they felt. I did it ‘passionately’ every time thinking it was helpful and what they need.
