Day 2 = Separating the waters
On Day 2, God separated the firmament, dividing the water above the sky from the water below the sky (Genesis 1:6-8). Some people’s natural design enables them to wash others— with words or deeds— in such a way that peace comes.
Many people walk with a grace and humility that empowers them to cleanse and minister grace to others, nourishing them in a profound manner. It never seems contrived; it always appears at the right time.
By the way, notice how Paul says that husbands should love their wives in this way, washing them with the water of the word (see Ephesians 5:26). Though is something we should all do, it’s definitely a natural bent for some people.
What it looks like
Tabitha (also called Dorcas) is our Biblical example. She’s holds distinction as the first person we see resurrected after Jesus’ ascension (see Acts 9:36f.). After her death the Church was deeply saddened. We read that she spent most of her days making tunics and garments for the widows in their community (see Acts 9:39).
By the way, serving doesn’t have to be “making something” for someone. For instance, we read about another Judas, the man who invited Saul into his home after his Damascus road experience. Though he receives only one line of text in the Scripture, he obviously played a pivotal role, as his home is the sacred space where the apostle was healed, filled with the Spirit, and grew in enough strength to begin his ministry (see Acts 9:11).
