Good morning…
I love meeting short poems who, very simply, speak God’s truth.

Sympathetic Resonance by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer
All day, I feel the throbbing
of other lives, other pain,
as if I’m a string on the piano
that goes unplayed, and yet
vibrates when the hammer
strikes other strings, and then—
your ache, my ache,
two strings, one song.

The sympathetic resonance playing music among us is, very simply, the Spirit of our living God.
What a wonderful God we have—he is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy, and the one who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us in our hardships and trials. And why does he do this? So that when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and comfort God has given us (2 Corinthians 1:3-4, TLB).
What a privilege to share the throbbing ache of daily life.
