Mercy — The Wound-Tender

What This Gift Looks Like

You're the one people call at 11pm — not because you'll fix it, but because you'll actually listen without flinching or rushing them toward a lesson. Where others feel awkward around grief, sickness, or shame, you feel strangely at home: present, unhurried, unafraid of the mess. Your gift is a kind of holy patience with pain that most people run from.

Strengths

• — Sits with someone in pain without needing to fix or explain it away
• — Reads emotional weather other people miss entirely
• — Makes suffering people feel less alone rather than more examined
• — Keeps showing up long after the crisis stops being interesting to everyone else
