Being compassionate involves others not self.
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Matthew 9:36
When you and I go out to this lost, dying, and hurting world with the Good News of the Gospel, we will see the results of living in sin. It will bring you to tears. It will bring you to your knees. It will move you with compassion!
It’s easy to sit in our air conditioned homes, driving our luxury cars, eating from the drive through menus, not doing anything for the Lord! I believe that’s why many will not lift a finger or open their wallets for the Lord! They are scared God will want them to get involved, leaving the comforts of home, giving to something bigger and better, getting their eyes off self and on someone else.
When we get out of our comfort zone, getting our hands dirty doing the work of the Lord, it’s hard not to have compassion!
