Sympathy addresses our struggles; support gives us the strength to overcome them. Sympathy says, I understand what youre going through and Im here for you. It meets two fundamental needs: the need to be understood and the need to have our feelings validated. Its when life comes crashing in on us that we need our friends the most. In the midst of his suffering Job cried out, A despairing man should have the devotion of his friends. We all need sympathy and support, because we all stumble and need help getting back up. So we need to offer them to others and be willing to receive them in return. - Word for Today
