The Need of Compassion

We all should have compassion because it serves so many purposes on our journey.  It shows the love in us, it shows the care in us, it helps us to grow within, it helps us to become more like children and most importantly, it gives others hope. 

We all have trials and tribulations that we deal with in life and sometimes it’s not that easy to deal with situations.  It all depends on how bad the situation is, where we are in our faith, how we’re accepting God’s grace, and just how we’re looking at life. It doesn’t matter what the situation is, we all need compassion in tough times and sometimes we act like we don’t need anyone and we try and do it ourselves but it’s good to talk to people and feel Gods love through others and accept compassion.

I know it’s important to be strong and gain strength from God but we’re human and we get tired at times. 

1 John 3:17 the word says:
"If someone who has worldly means sees a brother in need and refuses him compassion, how can the love of God remain in him."

God has been so good to us and He does it day after day, hour after hour, moment after moment.  Our goal on our journey is to be more like Him so that others can see the light in us. If we see others in need, why not give hope and show compassion.  Remember the mission is to go out and be disciples and that includes respecting others and being there as needed even if it’s just to listen. 

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 the word says:
3Praise be to the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

It’s critical to do our part so let’s show compassion to others and work towards giving hope to the world.  I’m going to leave you with the verse from 1 Peter 1:3-6.  It’s very powerful because if it wasn’t for God’s compassion for us, where would be today in this life and the life to come?

1 Peter 1:3-6 the word says:

3Praise be to the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
 
Amen and Thank You So Much Lord
