Good morning dear one,
- Matthew 9:36 says: “But when He saw the multitudes, He was MOVED WITH COMPASSION for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.”
Compassion is the one thing people need more than anything else in this world. They need someone to reach out to them with the compassion of God.
Did you know that compassion and sympathy are two different things? Compassion is a deep yearning that reaches out to the needs of people; Sympathy just feels sorry for people.
It was compassion that motivated Jesus to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons, and finally compelled Him to go to the cross.
Believe it or not, that’s the same compassion He longs to pour out through you! Jesus has sent you to reach out and touch a love-starved world with His compassion. If you don’t do it, who will?
In His love,
