Sometimes you face situations that are extremly delicate, and you do not know how to communicate with others in those situations. Often when there has been a tragedy in a family that you know, you want to reach out to those in the family, but you are at a loss for words.
When Lazarus died, I faced such a situation. Mary and Martha were distraught. They thought I did not care because I delayed in coming to pray for Lazarus. When I arrived, he had been dead for four days. I knew, however, that My Father wanted to reveal His glory through Me by raising Lazarus from the dead.
I knew the plan of My Father because I took time to seek Him. This is My exhortation to you when you face delicate situations. When those situations arise, do not move in haste. Instead, wait upon Me and listen carefully to what I desire for you to say and do. I will be able to give you a word in season to minister to others who face horrific trials. I have sent My comforter to you, and He is able to fill your heart with My compassion and also fill your mouth with the words that will comfort.
