Showing compassion towards others :)

Read this: Galatians 6:2 

“Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.”

Think about it:

When you read this, what comes to mind?

Maybe someone you know who is going through a tough time?

Maybe a friend, a family member or someone you hardly know...

When I read this passage, I think of all the time's that I have overlooked those who really need my help, and then I think ... I should have been there for them.

So today, let me encourage you to take a moment to look around ... is there someone you know who's hurting, who needs help, who could use some encouragement or a shoulder to cry on or for someone to just listen?

And even if you don't know them well, reach out to them. Really be compassionate towards them. Share in their burden. Ache with them and show them that you care.

When we show people we care and when we love them and have compassion on them we are obeying the law of Christ ... to love God and love people.

Pray about it: Ask God to show you who you can show compassion towards today. Ask him to help move your heart to really feel for other people and share their burdens instead of being distant and impersonal. Thank him for having compassion on you, and for loving you and sharing in your burdens because he is always there for us, even when we don't deserve it.

Live it: Now go, live today with compassion on people in your school. Have compassion on those you don't know or don't get along with. Show love and share in people's burdens. You can do it!
