Imitate his posture in one concrete scenario this week: first, identify a person weighed down by failure or grief; second, move toward them within 24 hours with one gentle, non-fixing question (“How are you holding up?”); third, offer a small act of shared burden (a task, a meal, or quiet presence) and a word that relieves rather than loads (“You don’t have to carry this alone”). Expect increased trust and reduced shame because you mirror the very heart you receive. This is not permissiveness: if sin is involved, name it clearly but remain near, embodying mercy’s nearness before moral advice, which aligns with the pattern his beauty models.
