A COMPASSIONATE HEART

Prov. 31:20 She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy.  NLT

       I picked this verse because I believe it is something every child of God should have in his heart to do. If we have the love of Christ in us, we will have compassion for those who need it both physically and spiritually. We cannot help everyone who needs it, but we can help some.

     We naturally are inclined to take care of ourselves and then if it is convenient and does not require too much from us, help others. Jesus changes us so that we become more balanced in our love. We love beyond ourselves because He loves beyond himself. His love purifies our love and moves us to reach out to each other and minister to one another’s needs.

      What are you doing with what God has given you to help others in need?
