What Is Your Level Of Compassion?

Scripture:
Matthew 9:36-38 (NIV)

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.  Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.  Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

Devotional:

How much compassion do you have and share?  When someone is hurt or in need how does it affect you?  What about seeing children who are hurt, lost, or suffering in some way?  Does that pull at your heart?  Jesus had compassion on the people.  So much so that He healed them, He fed them, He cared for them and their needs.

How much compassion and care do you have for those around you?  What about the strangers you see?  Compassion and caring are a part of who Jesus is.  Not everyone has the gift of compassion but we need to have some compassion for those around us.  We need to care for those who are hurting and in need.  We can’t do it alone but with one another and through the Holy Spirit we can care for others the way Jesus did.  Through the Holy Spirit we can have compassion like Jesus.  Open your heart to the Holy Spirit.  Ask for God to give you more compassion for others.
