THE LORD IS COMPASSIONATE TO ALL OF US 

"It is the unseen and the spiritual in people that determines the outward and the actual." Oswald Chambers 

PRAY:  Dear Jesus, there are examples all throughout the scriptures that You are good to all, You love every one of Your children and You have compassion on everyone You have created. Please help me to be more like You by being more compassionate. Let me not only tell others about Your kindness and compassion, but live it out in my own life so that I will freely give compassion to others, the way You have so freely given it to me. Amen

REFLECT:  How compassionate are you to other people? Do you feel for others when they are hurting? Do you understand their pain, their anger, their mean words, and respond with compassion? Or, do you respond to others in anger, impatience, or meanness? Maybe your compassion for others will grow if you focus on how compassionate the Lord is to you. As you realize His deep compassion for you it will be harder to not be compassionate to others.

ACT:   Choose a person who is in your life right now and to whom you need to show more compassion. Decide how you're going to do that and then plan out what words you need to say, or what action you need to take, to go out of your way to respond with non-judgmental acceptance and compassion. What they've done or said to you may have been wrong, but why don't you show them pure, Christ-like compassion in return. That may be exactly what they need to not feel consumed.
