What Would Love Do? Part 5 of 7 - The Sick

By Todd Beiswenger

We all know people who are sick and unwell. Jesus tells us that it is important to go and visit them. It's good for them, and good for us. Believe it or not, science backs this up. There are studies showing that good moods, smiles, and laughs are infectious. This is true of our spiritual well being as well. So go out, visit those who are physically suffering, and those who need spiritual help. You don't have to heal them, you just have to show up.
