Great quote by Bonhoeffer

"The beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them."

Not sure what to with language like: "creating space," "brokenness," "belonging," "seen, heard, and felt," "love enters the ache without trying to fix it."

Examples of Job's friends and Jesus with Mary/Martha were good. But, Jesus entered into suffering, showed compassion, and then said "sin no more."

I see legitimate value in the power of presence. But this may be a bit unbalanced?
