"The Lord is good . . . He showers compassion 

on all His creation.”  {Psalm 145:9, NLT}

Showers of Compassion . . .

Whenever I read the gospel accounts of Jesus’ life, one word always stands out: compassion.

If we examine Jesus’ words and actions, we find compassion at the center of His motivation. The Son of God of exhibited compassion in everything He said and did. So the more we become like Christ, the more we grow in compassion too.

Today, compassion is sometimes mistaken for a feeling of sympathy. But Christ-like compassion is so much more than a feeling.

Compassion doesn’t just say, “I see you and I care.” Compassion is always followed by action.

Compassion has a way of bringing people together. It bridges a distance with love in action. And it’s the reason we’re better together.
