Word from God’s word-Compassion

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Compassion.

This is a form of love that means “to have mercy, to feel sympathy, and to have pity.”

Compassion is the quality that helps us to notice people in need and take action to help them. With compassion, we see the suffering of others and take action to stop the suffering. The Bible tells us that the Lord is full of compassion and mercy. He saw our need for a Savior and gave us Jesus.

God can use our heart of compassion to make a difference. In Luke 10, Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan who saw a man beaten by robbers and responded with compassion. He bandaged his wounds and took care of him. This Good Samaritan was an instrument of healing for this man who was suffering.
