When We Should Worry

I lay in bed for hours last night unable to sleep. I was worried about a friend. In retrospect I feel guilty--not for worrying (although that is a sin,) but because it doesn't happen more often. Oh, I lie awake in bed a lot, but how often is it out of concern for someone else? Shouldn't we, as Christians, be the most caring, loving, forgiving, sharing people in the world? After all, we have been cared about, loved, forgiven, and shared with more than the world has in that God cared about and loved us enough to forgive us all our sins and share with us His Son. If we aren't concerned enough to be worried for our friends, who will be? Maybe sometimes we SHOULD worry a little--for others.
