The Word for Today Is #Compassionate

Compassion

On this Earth, there is no lack of mean-spirited thoughts and actions. Whether watching the TV news, reading the papers, trying to move up at work or network in a church, there’s no escaping back-biting, gossip, and cruelty. Compassion has lost expression in the minds and hearts of parents, children, teachers, legislators, and the police. People who don’t love God, don’t know what love is. Compassion rests far from the heart that doesn’t love. The Bible instructs us in loving-kindness, sympathy, humility, and compassion. Compassionate people are willing to step back and not consider themselves first in all things. They are sensitive to the feelings, needs, and suffering of others. The word for today is #compassionate.

1 Peter 3:8
[ Suffering for Doing Good ] Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. NIV

Look for opportunities to show compassion today.

Until we meet again, “Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might!”

Your friend in Christ,
