Spiritual Vitamin: "Be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing." 1 Peter 3:8-9
Challenge: Compassion means feeling with and for others as well as extending mercy and help to them in extravagantly practical ways. (Adele Ahlberg Calhoun, Spiritual Disciplines Handbook) What experiences in your life make it easy or difficult to show compassion?
Prayer: Dear God, Thank you for sending Jesus to this earth, who showed compassion to the outcasts, prostitutes, sinners, crowds, beggars and more. Jesus saw the people that others overlooked. Lord, whom do I overlook? Teach me to be a compassionate person, Jesus. Amen.
