Compassion
This word continues to come into my mind. At our home fellowship on Sunday evening we talked about what it means. The dictionary tells us that it's a deep awareness of the needs and suffering of another and a desire to relieve it. Throughout the pages of Scripture we see Jesus looking at people and crowds with compassion. It was often followed by action. Many things can motivate compassion. As our Savior Jesus had compassion on each one of us. We should forget about ourselves and the keen awareness we seem to have for self, BUT never forget the compassion Jesus had on us. This should be our motivator as we reach out to help. To whom may Jesus want you to show compassion today? Pray that the Kenya team will have hearts filled with compassion.
