Bible Verse of The Day – 5-19-22

Luke 10:33 (NKJV) 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion.

The Samaritan man that helped the injured man by the side of the road did not know him. But he had compassion for him. That is God’s heart for us; to have compassion for others whether we know them or not.

Just recently I was out running errands and was able to witness a couple of women with very strong compassion.

On my way into one of the stores, a young lady was leaving. She was full of tears. It was heartbreaking to see her so upset.

Before I could even make a move toward her, two other women looked at each other and thought the same thing and ran after her to help her. I stayed back and waited to see if they needed me as well.

It took only seconds for them to find out what the burden was that she was carrying.

This poor young lady just received a phone call informing her that her mom had passed away.

When they heard this, they were willing to drive her somewhere or do anything needed in order to help her.

What compassion they displayed, to see someone in sorrow and being there to offer a helping hand.

Suffering people need to experience God’s compassion, and what better way than for us to go out of our way for someone that we don’t even know.

It’s in the moment of pain, sorrow and sadness that we need to be there, stepping out of our comfort zone and pushing aside everything just to be there for them.

Thank you, God, for your compassion that lives in us. May we be aware of it each day and as You tug on our hearts, may we share it with others, reaching them right where they’re at.

Hebrews 13:16 (NKJV) 16 But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
