COMPASSION FOR ONE ANOTHER
Finally,
all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one
another; 1 Peter 3:8 [NKJV]
A
"One Anothering" Thought
Compassion
means:
- a feeling of deep sympathy
- sorrow for
- mercy for
Paul says that we
believers should be thinking alike and sharing in each others
sorrows.
We should feel deep sympathy for our brothers and
sisters in the Lord when they are going through
difficulties.
We should show mercy and have a strong desire to
help them in some way.
ONE-ANOTHERING IN
ACTION:
Stop and think about someone to whom you might need
to show compassion to today.
Who comes to mind that needs some
sympathy?
If God brings someone to mind or across your path
today, take the time to listen to them and encourage them. Give
them a hug or tell them you care.
Offer to pray for them, or
help them in some way.
You will be blessed as you do so, for we
have a very compassionate Lord, and He wants us to be like
Him.
But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with
compassion for them,
because they were weary and scattered,
like sheep having no shepherd.
Matthew 9:36
[NKJV]
