We need to enjoy other`s enjoyment. We need to console those who suffer. Why? Because that is what the Lord does. It is all a part of being like our HeavenlyFather.<p>Furthermore, when we learn to enjoy others being blessed we expand our own pleasure and happiness.<br>Likewise, when we share in other`s grief our own hearts are made more tender as we help in the healing process. <p>As is the case with all the WordOfTheLord, it is just smart tending toward life.
