Real Devotion: Real Compassion


Proverbs 21:13
Micah 6:8
Ephesians 4:32
1 John 3:17-18
Compassion is defined as a sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it.  Compassion is not only knowing something is wrong or seeing someone in pain but it is backing it up with action.  It is putting movement with your feelings.  Jesus has not called us to feel sorry for anyone, He has called us to see the hurts and help bring the solution.  Compassion can be as simple as giving someone a smile, a hug, or as complex as inconveniencing yourself to meet their need to show the love of Jesus.  How will you not only have compassion today but show compassion and live compassion?
