“Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.”
Are we too rushed to get to work, to stop and help someone who has fallen? Do we study the equations of our textbook more than the sad emotions of our spouse? Are we more aware of global poverty than a lonely friend?
Getting to work on time is important, as are the equations and the poverty experienced by many. Some problems to be solved help us love a person more. There can exist a lot of overlap in problem solving and people loving. I think the invitation here is that anytime we see a person in need of our love, we would be wise to give it to them, without regard to the problems we neglected to solve. When we help God's children first, God has a way of helping us solve our problems. God always deals in win-wins with his children as long as his children put him first.
